[QUOTE="jimbo, post: 3012, member: 175309"] Hey peeps am I in the minority (no don't all shout at once!) but I have also been a sky subscriber since the beginning of time and, yes, on the face of it I suppose it may seem a tad expensive. But is it? I pay around £9.00 per week for everything and extra if I want football or special box office stuff. £9.00 per week, what's that, 4 pints of beer. I can drink that in a lunchtime. Seriously though, despite Rupert being the modern equivilent of a biblical tax collector, I guess without him, we would still be in the doldrums digitally speaking. I think the product he sells is pretty good, anyone seen TV in other countries to compare? As for ITV, they swanned in with an inferior product (technically and programme wise) and without a proper business plan.
