Due to the fact of living in Portugal, I would like to receive Sky but the channels I would like to get are technically difficult here (North Beam). I think that Sky's package is pretty much complete, compaired to the one here in Portugal which is expensive, badly broadcasted (i.e. highly compressed), no alternitive language in movies (D+ has original and Spanish) not to mention no Dolby Digital on PPV movies and are transmitted with even more compression (for 3 Euros, get a rental DVD!), The games that you see on Sky Sports are here very badly transmitted through SportTv (you can't even tell if Jose Mourinho had a shave on that day!). Usually the saying is what-you-pay-is-what-you-get cannot be applied here in Portugal. I have viewed the Sky package in the Algarve and it seems o.k. on some channels and a few others are compressed. But in the long run I would still option for it if I could.
