No, I don't work for SKY !
How many times must I repeat that Extreme would have not formed part of the contract. You said "List of channels for this much money = contract.", but you could have received that channel without paying money, so it would not have formed part of the contract.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -

Well , all I can say is let Trading Standards take a look at it. I bet that SKY have something in their contract which says they will not be responsible for things beyond their control ,i.e. Extreme deciding to cease being free-to-air.
Things on satellite change all the time. Channels start up, some close down and others decide to change their subscription status. Are you saying that if a channel decides to close down a few weeks after you subscribed to SKY, that you will blame SKY for the loss of this service? That is no different to what as happened to Extreme.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -

Yes - since Sky are the ones I'm paying!!! I would expect compensation.
Your reply in another topic returns me to my conclusion that we may have to agree to differ.
In response to poor old Stebyz finding a heart valve in his pastie!!
"Well it shows the pasty was made from real meat!. I cannot see your concern. A mistake has been made, we don't live in a perfect world. At least it's meat and not broken glass or a plaster off somebody's finger."
Most people agreed with me over that heart valve. It was a mistake but the pasty probably would have contained this stuff ( but minced up) and he would not have know any better.
I presume that this is not one big wind-up, but to try and blame SKY if a non-SKY channel decides to close down is just stupid. They have no control over these channels . SKY is just a platform provider. It's as stupid as suing the management of a shopping centre if a particular shop decides to close down. They just provide the floor space and collect the rent, they do not have direct control over the shop.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -

All I can say (yet again) is that Extreme was a free-to-air channel and whether you would have subscribed to Sky or not, you would still have been able to view the channel.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0
