Sky +

magyar

Just an addition to Joemardo1's point. Sky are pretty hard-nosed about this now and you have to go a very long way down the road of cancelling. Don't worry, you're unlikely to actually end up cancelling; if you're clear with them and say that you're cancelling because you don't think this is good value etc. etc., then you'll always get something.

So the general consensus is its a rip off!!

Yes but out of all the channels available there isn't much more worth watching. My sister in law pays out over £60 a month thats an awful amount of money. If you then un subscribe to sky you either lose sky+ or have yo pay £10 a month. Rip off!!!

Freeview and Freesat are totally different to BSkyB in content, so if you want channels that are only available on BSkyB you have to pay - frighteningly simple.
I must admit to trying to get by on the minimum but the channel packages are cleverly spread. Mr Murdoch is not daft.:p

Not my view at all - and dont know whether you could class this as the general consensus but of course its up to you. l like sky plus cos i can watch the programmes i want to watch when i want to watch them and ad free - that works for me

I agree with Nelski. Sky isn't cheap but as it's got no real competition then there's not much you can do about it (except as discussed above). I love Sky+ myself, I watch Sky Sports most weekends, download movies using SkyByBroadband and generally get my money's worth.

It's only a ripoff if you do not watch much TV! It is cheap compared to going to the cinema or renting DVDs but that too would be a waste if you did not care for them. If you do not drink you think spending on a decent bottle of wine is a ripoff. If you enjoy it you do not begrudge the cost.

Anyway Skyplus is very good and I doubt you will want to go back to what you had before.
