I`ve never seen these letters but mine keeps creeping up every so often....

Don't get me started on this s**t. I'll never get rid of Sky and I'll always keep the top package, but this constant increase every 6 months is a f**king joke.
It's up to something like £43.95 a month now for all the channels.
They have us over a barrel and there's nothing we can do about it.

When I started working for Sky in Dec 1999 I'm sure the top package was £34 per month, when I left in 2003 it was £38. They are a ripoff.
£10 a month HD subscription no matter which package you are on. You receive your Sky+HD sub for free on HD, same as on the standard Sky+ box.

Nope, and dont forget they charge you £300 for the HD box as well....stards
rip off t***s, i only watch the sport channels and (sad bugger) discovery etc, we have movie channels but there just 10 channels of toss films, and they hardly ever change them!! the reast is s**t, the must make billions off al the adverts and the 995 other channels filled with b****cks. Why do i have to pay nearly top dollar for 3 sports channels?!?!?!rant over

Sky don't own the satellite, any third party (as in sky are a third party too) can by transponder space and start broadcasting - due to ofcom these channels can buy a space in the Sky EPG and sky are obliged to provide.
There's an awful lot of sh*te channels on sky that I'm sure they would prefer wern't there.
Obviously if the channel wants encryption, then they have to do this via sky as the digiboxes don't have a CI interface.
That said, it's a total rip, the packages encompass far too many crappy channels.
Give me Sky One, Sky Sports 1, 2 and 3, and Discovery and I'd be a happy man! Sounds identical to what you watch, and I'm sure there's a huge potential subscriber base who'd want just those channels, but that's not maximising profits though
You have to seriously think about what you watch imo, £43.50 gets you one hell of a lot of movie rentals in a month!
I have Freeview only now as the documentary channels always get sneaked into the top packages only which frustrates the hell out of me (none of the programming is "in-house", so why charge the top amount?!). E4, More4, Sky Sports News, all the BBC channels and a few others on Freeview are more than enough for me. If I want to watch a movie I will rent it.
I'm sure getting a few quality channels like Discovery on Freeview would see huge numbers of people moving over, looks unlikely to ever happen though

there the exact channels I watch, but obviously they know that these are there top channels, so make you take all the shite with them to make you feel you getting more for your £40, but in reality, your paying that just for those. bummer

I want one but the mrs is like a dog with a bone with sky+. £500 a year to watch normal tele
Oh yeah and you can link it to your pc and copy files back and forward (recorded programmes and mp3s etc..) ... might get one anyway then try to 'phase out' the sky box
