But then I pay a premium price for my broadband, over £35 a month. To me, thats worth the money.

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.

Do these people howl at the moon by any chance?....

If and when.....I'm your man. I've left a blade outside as I'm expecting rain tomorrow.

I do not have Sky and rely on freesat/freeview etc.

Sky for many seems to be a lot like comfort food - I frequently hear the argument that Sky is my only luxury...etc but ok - you have to spend more time in doors and can't afford to go out - I understand that - but honestly recent content on freeview is absolutely fine including kids stuff and putting away £5-800 towards a family holiday would be preferable.

In many households football/sport rules and whilst we can all take the moral high ground on the subject maybe Sky delivers the ingredient that many households decide on balance is their best choice to suit them. The market will sort itself out over time.
