[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 1738, member: 175089"] While everyone, so far, might think that SKY is a good deal - I would say it isn't. The UK based DSAT operator still asks for lots of wonga whilst still providing more than 70mins of commercials (spots) for every hour of actual programming output: or, at least that's what any conscript channel to SKY will give provide for your money. Its something that only Americans understand, unfortunately. Like, I have paid for the output, why should I have to pay to watch commercials ? Or something similar. Somehow, with only 17million DSAT households they have gotten there way. Meanwhile, in eurodisneyland ....... (full of US programming?) ......... sucks :-( Have Fun, Mark. P.S. For those that didn't understand what I said - It's a bit like hiring a car for a year - complete with "Pizza Express, your bestest Pizza" billboard stuck onto the side of the car - and the car rental company asks for a premium for carrying this board. What's the point ? Where is this going ?, etc. Fcuk knows: either way you ARE being ripped-off. Sky have stated that the 'average spend per user' WILL increase. It will: and they WILL do this by stealth; rather like the UK government does. I am sorry, but for SKY+, why should I pay an extra GBP10.00 for "constant updates" - for something that is transmitted constantly by satellite to my standard Digibox anyway. Additionally, I do not like SKY's approach that - if you don't subscribe or continue your subscription to SKY+ - your SKY+ decoder will be defaulted to become an expensive "normal" Digibox. Have Much Fun, Mark. [/QUOTE]
