Apologies for this question which, I suspect, is probably a regular from newbies to this forum.
I have been trying to research my requirements but, TBH, I don't know enough and it is a lot to learn.
Firstly, where I am: have just cancelled the Sky full package (inc multiroom and HD) because a) it's v/expensive b) I object to a company charging me extra to phone their customer support c)The programs are so annoying: an hours documentary prog, after you strip out adverts and recaps is not worth the money they charge. d) I can no longer pause or record on the Sky+ boxes which I paid for (I know I bought the box and need to subscribe to the software).
I have been cut off tonight (back to the freesat only) and am particularly going to miss the documentary section (Discovery/history etc), sport and cartoons + the occasional movie.
What are my option for alternatives?
a) Get a life.
b) Buy a diff sat receiver so I can at least pause and record free to air programs.
c) Get stuff online.
4) Get a satellite system that doesn't just rely on Sky.
Any advice, links etc would be greatly appreciated.
Another way of putting 'it', I suppose is: I want to replace Sky with Sky (or better) at a much lower monthly cost.
