    Sky Go, even o2 went for Go, Go, Go because they had something to offer, Sky Go is very basic at £15 a month then another £15 for Now TV to get sky movies, £30 a month with NO discounts even for Sky Broadband and your own supplied internet bandwidth is not a cheap option !

    You would think no dish or box would mean Sky broadband customers got a small discount on Go/Now bundles...but erm....NO....:rollseyes:
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)
  • Why not ask your neighbour if you can nail your dish to his tree? He may get the message!

    Why on earth should the neighbour care that the occupant of a nearby house can't get the luxury that is sky ?

    People(including government is seems) already recognise it as a "right" to have internet access so I reckon before long people will also have the right to have access to a satellite, much as in the past (and probably still now) they have/had the right to daylight under "ancient light" laws. If you look at England's debt laws you'll find the bailiffs can't confiscate a man's "tools of the trade" In America bailiffs are forbidden not to leave at least one television set! Just wait and see. As for the luxury of sky in particular, I've gone freesat but still need satellite access!

    Yes satellite access is definitely as essential as daylight (especially for cable and Freeview users!):rotfl:

    It'll never happen. If you can't get Sky, then there's Virginmedia. If you can't get VM then there's Freeview.

    Either way you can get some for of TV. Even Talk Talks You View offering is comparable to Sky's service.
