[QUOTE="Salty25, post: 193397, member: 185281"] I'm looking at ART (if it still exists 2007/2008 onward) and its looks increasingly attractive. I'm a student, so dont have the immediate disposable funds for ART installion etc etc, but once I graduate and get a proper job, its in with a definite look in. I think I'll always subscribe to Sky Family Pack with Sky+ though, cos thats a fair-ish price for what your getting. The premium movies and sports content on Sky are extremely over-priced, when you consider you can get ALL Premiership games with TWI English commentary, and more - and more recent - movies with English audio track, on both ART or DigitALB. However, after this UK deal, I can see the Premier League, Sky, and Setanta in a big joint effort to really cut down on the ability to get overseas satellite. It made me laugh watching the BBC report on the rights deal. They reported that customers now had 'a choice' of who to subscribe to. THERE IS NO CHOICE, Sky still hold all the rights to the big games, Setanta have the scrabs.
