Can someone advise if this is a handy investment? Will all this streaming stuff just get blocked? |  | | |  |

But Virgin Media's fibre optic network aside, it's the telephone line that 'carries' the Internet connection to your property - that's why you pay line rental. Without renting that line you wouldn't have Internet, so it's not a scam
That Exodus looks promising, and from the Genesis developer too, so could be good |
Up until the late 1990s the line coming to your house was called a 'telephone line', its now called a 'digital subscriber line'. Telephone companies at the moment charge you twice for it.
When I get round to it I'm gonna make a complaint to Ofcom and see my MP about it. Why are we always scammed in this country by big businesses? |  | | |

Because I just want to use the DSL for broadband. I have no use for a voice facility as I have a mobile phone contract. If my mobile was broke I'd use (free) VoIP.
There must be millions of people like me.
Virgin will only do business with you if you pay for a useless voice facility, and they charge about £18 a month. If you force the issue with them, and tell them that as far as you are concerned their voice facility is as much use a a chocolate teapot, then they say OK, you ban just have the broadband but we will charge you £28 per month for it.
At least some companies are offering 'free' broadband deals now, probably before they are forced to. | | | |

I understand your issue with Virgin trying to force you to take out a telephone line that you don't want - and isn't needed - as their fibre broadband isn't dependant on an active telephone line, but for virtually all other providers the line rental charge is quite obviously fair
If you don't pay line rental for use of BTs network (which covers maintenance costs of said network) how else are they expected to deliver broadband to your property?
Whether you use that line for its original purpose - making telephone calls - is completely up to you but totally irrelevant here - afterall you are only charged for the 'voice facility' if you make calls, which you clearly don't, so you aren't being charged for it. However you are still using their network for their broadband facility so of course you're gonna have to pay line rental for the privilege [Post edited 26 Feb 2016 11:47]

Isn't that what the broadband charge is for though? | | | |
| Amazon firestick and KODI on 09:05 - Feb 27 with 4471 views | BLAZE |
No, the line rental charge ultimately goes to BT for use of their network, whilst the broadband charge is where your provider (for example TalkTalk, EE) make their money and is for the package of broadband you've subscribed to (ie 50mb, unlimited download or whatever)
The two charges are displayed separately because it makes a better advert when you're offering broadband for say less than £5 a month with the line rental charge hidden in the small print. But ultimately the two charges are for two different things, so you aren't being charged twice for the same thing [Post edited 27 Feb 2016 9:09]

In our house, like everyone else, there is one dsl line. The imaginary telephone line provider is BT, and they also provide the broadband. They charge abour £18 for said imaginary telephone line and £15 for the Broadband.
If our provider was say Talk Talk, BT would charge them a wholesale rental for the (one) dsl line. Talk Talk would then have the pleasure of ripping us off.
The government are currently in the process of forcing BT to open up their crap copper network to other providers, but providers are busy expanding their own fibre networks. | | | |
| Amazon firestick and KODI on 15:38 - Feb 27 with 4354 views | BLAZE |
No. You're charged £18 for use of BTs Open Reach network, and you're charged a further £15 for the broadband package you've elected to have sent through that network to your property. It's kinda like hiring a car - you pay a hire fee for the car (line rental) but you've still got to pay for the fuel you put into it, too (broadband package)
I'm getting dizzy from going around in circles so I'll leave it at that | | | |
| Amazon firestick and KODI on 18:56 - Feb 27 with 4300 views | airedale |
The BT network is just that. Openreach are the mechanics who are supposed to deal with faults (ha ha!). The single, dsl cable that comes into your hacienda allows a poor broadband connection. Also, if you possess a handset (which I don't) you can use the line to make telephone calls. This dsl line costs me £18 per month rent plus £15 per month rent.
Oh, almost forgot, we've both got mobile phone contracts too, which give us unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and oodles of downloads. Grrr! [Post edited 27 Feb 2016 19:02]

I had this issue and couldn't get rid of it. In the end I got some black insulating tape and ran it the whole width of the TV obscuring the bar. Irritating at first but soon got used to it. |  |

I was 30 mins into a film when without thinking used the menu bar to pause. Had to watch the other hour and half with it up or start over again. Surely theres a way? Otherwise your idea might be coming into practice | | | |

I assume you mean once a movie, tv show etc is playing?
If so, just press escape if you've got a keyboard, right click if using a mouse or press the back button on your kodi device remote. | | | |
