[QUOTE="Finless, post: 795969, member: 387255"] 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. [/QUOTE]
