[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1740, member: 175144"] Once youve seen what is available from around the world it would beggar belief that you would subscribe to SKY as the sole broadcaster for your viewing entertainment. I will agree that there are probably reasons to have it as a second system, as there are dedicated channels (SciFi being one) that would be impossible to find elsewhere, and if present, be able to subscribe to on an individual basis. However the fact that the channel is 'bundled ' in among others that one would not dream of watching lends to the argument of avoiding subscription until the situation is revised The constant adverts should surely pay for what weve been asked to watch on the non-premium channels though, I cant believe that it costs any broadaster much to put down repeats (Granada and Sky 2, and the Soap channel should surely be in the free package). The Americans are used to commercials but do they really have to interrupt in the same way over in Europe. I was appalled at the amount that the French are prepared to put up with on M6 for example. 2Olds rant on Treaty of Rome issues raised some good points which are unfortunately either suppressed by , or go straight over the heads of the masses. Whilst it is reasonable to pay for the newspaper materials to get your daily input, the material within is effectively public knowledge once it is read out aloud. Is there a law to prevent you passing a newspaper round amongst your friends ? Any lawyers out there reading this might want to give their professional view on comparison to the medium of television and how a houshold might infringe the new rules. [/QUOTE]
