Noticed that my sky subscription is going up again.  Fair enough that businesses themselves aren't immune from rising costs but is it just me that thinks Sky charging £8.00 per month for 'HD', which has been around for 20 odd years, is an absolute RIP OFF!!  Currently paying £4.00 pm for HD and I thought that was bad, but now they are doubling it! 

Perhaps it's finally time to bin them and stick to Freeview who charge nothing for HD channels.

    1.  Renegotiate with them for a lower sub fee?  Cancel often gets 'retentions' involved.
    2. Freeview will require a PVR to record channels.  It has fewer HD  channels that freesat and that has fewer than $ky - so check that the channels you want are available.
    3. A freesat PVR is an alternative to Freeview and will use the $ky dish connections.
