Must admit we are going to be cancelling our subscription in the next few days and its going to be a very sad day in the healey household.

I know it's not cheap but we really do use it. My missus loves the sky one, Atlantic and living (amongst others) whereas I love the documentary channels and the sport and movies, especially seeing how it looks like Watford might be spending a bit of time on ss1 this season! Plus with a 5&6 yr old there's always something on (or on catchup)

I know it's fashionable to knock sky and the Murdoch empire but we have had a sterling service from them in the many years we've used them.

But needs must and I suppose putting food in our mouths is more important nowadays!!

A bad time to enter the thread after Magic's post.... but.

Just plugged in my new (free) 2TB Sky-Box and will be enjoying Sky for a further 12months.

Despite how good FreeView has become, I am damn sure I couldn't happily watch TV without a gazillion of channels of shit to watch!  ;D

Squealey, with the roll-out of BT Vision, Sky are currently offering fellatio to keep you as a customer!  :y

I think there's plenty of crap on Freeview to watch, without paying Sky for more!  ::) Never have and never will!!  :)

In fact I havn't had a telly for over 12 months now and just watch stuff I want to on the catch up services!  :)  It's quite liberating really and of course no TV tax licence!!!  :y

I have Sky broadband, phone and tv and I'm really happy with it. It works out at about £55 a month so it's good value for what you get.

Sky are currently offering fellatio to keep you as a customer!  "DAMN". That did sound tempting. But the missus has only another 2 teeth to lose...  :-\

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.

Pretty sure you still need a tv licence a laptop, ps3/Xbox , mobile phones. Etc come under it even if you don't have a TV..

Well I love sky. The sport coverage alone is worth the monthly fee.
Each to their own though  :y

AFAIK, if you have a television aerial, you need to pay for a license nowadays.  Something to do with being 'able' to receive a broadcast?  :-\

We have had this 'debate' before, iirc you do need a licence, regardless of how you receive a tv broadcast, otherwise we would all get rid of our TV's and use a computer and perhaps a projector...... ;) ;)
