[QUOTE="Steve Stras, post: 825484, member: 377521"] I agree with Analoguesat when he says that anyone who feels they are not obtaining value for money from Sky is free not to subscribe. I live in quite a big expat community and I don't know one single person who subscribes to Sky. The general feeling is that Sky do not offer value for money bearing in mind what else is available in the marketplace. A lot of of Skys income is driven via football, which you can get here from French and German providers at a much lower price. Things like movies are available from all providers in their original language, as are the big US series and sitcoms. Once you remove those things from the equation the argument for subscribing to Sky is difficult to justify, especially bearing in mind the cost. In fact I can't see any reason why someone in mainland Europe should subscribe to Sky. I would add I do know quite a few people who pickup FTA channels from the UK, though it's not a large percentage. Some of these things may be demographic and cultural, here in Strasbourg the expat community cannot survive without being integrated into the local community, we are too small. This isn't the case in expat communities in spain, canary islands, cyprus etc [/QUOTE]
