[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 632665, member: 175057"] I don't think that the vast majority of Sky's customers are unhappy, just a vociferous minority, it is mostly licensees and hobbyists who have a problem with it and the most vociferous of the hobbyists probably wouldn't subscribe even if it was cheaper. As an example of this, DigitalB is a cheap as chips football package, but people still join card share rings to avoid paying for it. I can see your point about sharing of the benefits, but in real terms, not many people are going to be interested in watching live 1st or second division football and the idea of having the 3pm embargo is to help these lower clubs in not taking away their stadium supporters. Regarding the pubs showing 3PM matches, it isn't to do with Sky, it is the Premier league taking the action, as nobody has the rights to show the matches in England and hence anyone viewing them in England is doing so illegally.
