And so get ripped off by the brewery / government by way of the drink prices. Hmmmmm.
Best value is ring Sky periodically and get through to cancellations. Threaten to leave as you cant afford it any more.
Did it last month and offered 25% off my package for 6 months if I took sports and movies. Works out £37pm. Must be prepared to get your bluff called though.
They did a couple of years ago and I went to freeview for a bit. Soon had a flood of e-mails begging me to come back with all sorts of free offers. I think I caved when they offered movies and sports free for 3 months. Gotta play the game these days with everything. Insurance, utilities, shopping. banking etc. etc.. Save yourself a fortune. Worth setting aside a day to sort it all in one go.
Yes the evenings positively fly by down these a ways.

Not an issue when I'm watching with my 17 month old, I'm on orange juice which I don't get charged for (would only cost me about £2 for the two hours anyhow). If I was having a couple of jars specifically for a game I could keep it down enough that it's still cheaper.

35 quid, but missing SS3 and 4. Maybe a saving - it depends how important the other 2 channels are. But all that really illustrates is the 2nd reason why Sky is being accused of ripping people off - it wholesales Sports and Movies at pretty much retail prices, so other TV providers can't compete on cost.

How much do top up tv pay then? Maybe they realise the market potential for charging that much and take a whopping profit?

I don't know how much this year, but last year it was £19.07. 'Market potential' is not really the right choice of words since we're still looking at a cosy oligopoly.

First step to the future, IMO he can **** off. Does he reckon the likes of QPR will be able to sell rights abroad?

Hang on a minute, who the **** does he think Liverpool play every week, It takes two teams to make a football match, It really doesn't matter if you honestly think they all are only watching one team.
What a deluded knob.

Oddly he seems to ignore the fact that if the sale of rights was done in this way Manure would be able to generate even more cash than them making the gulf between the two even bigger.

Maybe they can set up a deal with the History channel

It's cause that's how it's done with baseball. Every red sox game is televised etc

In this day and age you would almost expect that every game was televised. Whether they charge a fee for doing that or not is up for debate, but given the levels of demand you'd expect there to be the option.

I don't have any problem with the NFL model of televised games, if stadium is 85% full or more...the game's televised.
