Exactly the same with VM, it's just the same regurgitated shit that was being broadcast 2 years ago, and then repeated again last year

To be fair, Sky have chucked a load of cash at new home brew content.

Have you actually watched any of those Tunnie? It might be just me but I thought they were utter dross.

In these difficult financial times I am constantly amazed at how much extra people spend on top of their basic TV licence.

I don't know whether it was growing up with very few channels at all - but I'm more than satisfied with what's on offer on Freeview, with 98% of viewing being the main channels. Now that Youview is here I'm really quite content.

I suppose the majority of people who take Sky/VM are happy to pay for sport or movies - personally I'm not. But that aside I see the majority of what else is on offer as being of very little value. I have been/am tempted from time to time by Nat Geographic - but its a hell of a step up to pay just for that.

Hey ho, each to their own - but I'm really really surprised that subscriptions are continuing to increase in this climate - which must be a measure of how much value people place on these services. 

All IMHO of course

Only times I use the TV's in our house is to watch DVD's or Movies on demand or when the XBox gets switched on.

Although I keep meaning to watch Mad Dogs.

Agreed. How many channels can you watch or do you need?...

The big 5 plus freeeview is plenty.

For some, the services offered by pay-tv companies are deemed essential. And whilst you can afford it, why not have it if thats what floats your boat.

I can't think of anything on Sky I'd want to watch that is worth the additional subscription, so I don't subscribe, and use that money towards any other hobbies and things I want to do with my time.

Others think the subscription is worthwhile, and thus subscribe, possibly cutting back elsewhere in many cases. Thats our/their choice.

What did used to get on my goat, back when I used to have a real job fixing phones, is all the spongers, to stereotype, peroxide blonde teenagers with 3 kids, given a large council house and enough benefits to keep them in fags and lotto tickets, all having Sky TV. Grrrrr. And breathe!

I'd rather have my scrotum removed with a rusty Stanley Knife than pay a penny for Sky.

TBH, even if it were free, I'm not sure I'd bother having it....

...yet for some, £840 a year for Sky is value in their eyes.
