[QUOTE="HB13DISH, post: 545229, member: 262829"] I took another look at the Yes Israel Package Basic Subscription cost and I really can't help saying that it is unbelievable that such a high cost can carry on without anybody, especially our respected members of Parliament (Knesset) would lift a finger to help those poor old age pensioners who need to pay 193.33 NIS ($55) a month for channels that are overpriced, not very interesting and which quite a few can be watched anyway using an FTA receiver and a single dish pointing to Amos 4W, Nilesat 7W and Hot Bird 13E. At these hard times when their pension goes mostly on the ever increasing food prices and on medical care (medicine mostly) and their only entertainment is watching TV, minimizing the basic subscription cost should be a national project in order to help them out and also the ever increasing low income families. To top it all, there is no discount for OAP whatsoever. )(-red Here is a list of all the channels in the basic subscription. I have grouped them according to the FTA capabilities or any relevant comments about their added values.
