    Well Sky themselves are only responsible for a very small number of channels that are available, so fair enough if you're complaining about them. But they can hardly be held responsible for the output of the hundreds of other channels they carry.

    50?

    What have you got, 8 channels or something?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,534 ✭✭✭gctest50


    cos they've no money to buy good programs cos everyone is using dodgy android cardsharing boxes


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 565 ✭✭✭enzo roco


    You have the internet, so you can basically watch anything you want.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,439 ✭✭✭corner of hells

    Funnily enough they found four billion quid stuck down the back of the sofa to pay for English football rights.

    You could be worse off,a colleague of mine pays for Sky and all he watches is UK Gold.

    And therein lies the reason why their other programming has gone to hell.

    But hey...at least they are not producing high quality TV like The Toughest Villages in Britain, Toughest Pubs in Britain and the Toughest Seaside Resorts in Britain any more,

    Got rid of it 4 months ago. Free to air has 90% of the stuff I watched anyway. Can get everything else I want to see on the net. Saving a fortune.

    Overhyped shíte.

    Id imagine that their income from subscriptions is high because most of it goes toward securing the Premier League rights, hence that's why their subscription prices is high.

    I actually done a brief study on sky for a college project some few years ago and i found that they were curbing the recession. Income levels were reducing but subscriptions on average were growing year on year.

    Britains toughest stains. This week we feature a particularly tough wankstain up in a one of Bradfords roughest housing estates.

    You'd be mad to pay full whack for any Sky package. If you must keep it (and assuming you're out of contract), ring 'em up and say you're cancelling. They'll either half the price there and then or you will have to do without it for a couple of weeks, after which they'll ring you back and offer you half price.

    Half price for a few months, not forever

    I've got movies, sport, kids channels, music channels for 44 or 46 euro a month. Was supposed to be on a contract for 12 months with that offer but I said I wouldn't go back on contract so, the offer is on my account til December but I'm out of contract

    If push came to shove though, I doubt they are going to just let you cancel your contract without a fight. If you keep cancelling, they are not just going to relent each time.

    I'm watching Fatal Attraction on Sky Thriller HD.

    The last time I watched it I was around 13/14 years old.

    Players were paid long before Sky came along.
