    [QUOTE=original PM;1049549]wish you could just get sky for the odd ocasion when a decent footy match was onQUOTE]

    I'd prefer it if you could buy a season ticket for your club so that you could watch all of their games. I'm not interested in Bolton v Stoke but I'd pay more than I do at the moment for me and my armchair to have access to every Man U game

    Or films on Sky.

    Which seemed to cause the nice lady who phoned me up one evening in the middle of my dinner some conceptual difficulty.
    I tried to explain to them once that I was more interested in how good a film was, than how new it was.

    They didn't understand that either.

    Now you mention it, why do I pay Murdoch £260/yr for that?
    because your addicted to murdochs drugs, and you need the daily fix
    of those channels to function.

    after having sky for several years I cancelled the contract several months ago and just started watching all the freeview channels, much more happier
    and kids now spend more time doing their homework and playing rather than
    being super glued to the box everynight!.

    Until the message 'insufficient bandwidth' comes up whilst streaming your favourite show in catch up TV in the evening.

    I've never even had the bother of dealing with Sky service engineers - it's easily avoided and has the benefit of saving cash.
