if sky uk could become available, legally to anyone in europe, that would be no good to sky, as it would mean anyone in the UK could legally subscribe to any european sat provider. opening up the european boarders could only be good for the customers, if you had the choice would you get sky uk or D+ for half the cost
I'm not sure, but I think I'd actually get Viasat. The full package is 299 SKr per month (little over £22). Not much more money than the Sky Multichannels package, and it includes TV1000, and almost everything else is in English. The only problem is you wouldn't get the Norwegian & Danish channels if you're on the Swedish package (I think). But still, it's 39 decent channels for a good price.
Does Viasat still come from West Drayton in Middlesex? It did when I used to live there (in the late '90s).
I will be honest tho', satellite TV was better when we had fewer channels. Getting a decoder for one or few channels like, say, Filmnet or RTL4/5, SBS6 & Veronica was a big deal...!

PS I would never subscribe to Sky as it's not worth the paper it's printed on - thousands of channels and nothing to watch (except adverts). Well, that's unless a friend of mine in Europe asked me to do so on their behalf (I have done this in the past).
