Just had an advanced notice from Sky that the charges will be going up from £21 to £22 in September.
For this I get about 2 Sky magazines a year, and thats only when I complain.
I get a 3 hour loop on the most popular channels meaning they only actually broadcast 3 programs a day on it.
They seem to have theme days, A favourite of mine is American Chopper. Theme days good, but then the put different eppisodes of it on different channels at the same time.
The best channels like Trbo, Sky 1,2 and 3 they dont do a +1 channel.
Connecting to an adviser involves pressing more phone options than any other company I know.
They then go through the security and add something new about your privacy to the list at every opportunity.
Then when you you finally get to the correct advisor they say "and how are you today Sir"
I reply, Fed Up. To which they say"is that my fault Sir" Why do they sak stupid firking questions if they dont want to know the answers.
Sky versus Free Sat and Freeview.
What are the differences does anyone one know of sites that can show me the channel differences.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA . :y :y [/size]

If I could prise Mrs. KW away from a couple of Sky channels I'd happily give them the heave-ho.
.. and for all the bo770ck5 Murdoch's papers speak about carbon footprints and low energy bulbs I'm surprised they haven't mentioned the energy consumption (and thus carbon footprint) of a Sky Set top box on standby. :-X

I got a free BT VIsion box off my ISP and that came with mains ethernet adaptors - I installed a cable - the cable will be paid for soon by the savings in power consumption by not using the adaptors

If you stop paying your subscription to Sky you will still be able to view all the free to air tv stations on your Sky box.
I can get over 200 stations mostly what you can get on freeview.
SKY don't tell you this. Just stop paying them. :y :y

Yes Nursey.
They may tell you otherwise but believe me it is true.
We left their subscription service over a year ago because the programmes were repeated too much and we usually watched the main Channels anyway.
If Sky came back with a good offer like Free Movies and Sky Box Office we might be tempted back, but not otherwise :y
