[QUOTE="easysat, post: 117749, member: 175305"] Well I totally agree with Rolf that the Sky installer should get paid the proper amount. But I think the Welsh viewers have a valid point about getting access to free, public TV at the same price as anywhere else. Remote areas have always been subsidised by more densely populated areas: you pay much the same cost for your electricity, gas, mobile phone calls, etc. in the Welsh mountains or Cumbria even though the cost of the infrastructure per user is much higher than in SE England. I don't agree with the point about Ebay though. When you buy from Ebay, you don't have the same legal protection as buying from a proper retailer and you're never quite sure that the merchandise hasn't been half-inched. Why shouldn't you be able to walk into your local satellite shop and walk out with a Digibox and card? Most other countries seem to manage to sell satellite receivers this way. [/QUOTE]
