What kind of media company subscription do you have?

I tulip canned the movies when I went on that on demand thing and they had Die Hard as a pay to view movie.

The films are terrible, I got shot of mine a few months ago, you get 2 new films a week and there is a good chance that one or both is a tulipe rom com or some kids dance off movie.

Precisely this. I stop reading film blurbs when I see the following phrases :

Heartwarming
Fantasy
Family fun
Romantic comedy
Reboot of
Irvine Welsh
A boy and his horse
Quirky

watching Savages now, not a bad movie. But the deal really makes it's self worth something when I want the kids to sit still for a couple of hours whilst I have to do something. There's always something on for the kids.

Nope, that's a tulip deal. However, I was wanting to join, and thought £70 too much. However, £35 for everything, is kind of pretty good value. Especially now with a broken leg. I you can get a good price, it's grand. £70 was too much tho.

Fair enough, it will be alright for that.

When renewal time comes, I'll simply say if they can't do it at £35, I'll bail. Something tells me they'll keep me onboard. £35 and I think it's a good deal; Less than £9 a week, £1.30 a day. Watching us beat the Aussies today was worth a £5

I think SKY are really trying to get in on the broadband thing as there is now quite a lot of hacking of the sky service going on, that and streaming and usual downloading. I think they want to get in the way and cut it all out,

I think they all have to get involved with BB now, as it's all interconnected really; streaming will be de riguer soon, I mean mainstream.

I have 5 quid orange broadband, advertised at 6 meg although that is meant to be between 4 and 8, it was 6, then 5, then 3.8 now it seems to be settling at 1.2.

I test it every day when I start working from my desk, it is noticeable that the speeds are always very constant in between drops, obviously the speed is set somewhere and you would think they are dropping it gradually as they build up the sales pitch for fibre. I don't need a 40 meg connection and they aint forcing me into upgrading to get a stable connection.

I'm rural and they promise 0 - 8 mbps. Lucky to get 0.5

I have a free subscription with XBMC, if you know what you're doing you can watch newly released movies, every TV show and all the football including 3pm Saturday EPL games.

All through a sky broadband connection.
