Hi Darran.
You know that problem with SKY, in which you can only record the channel you
are watching - rip-off, well, I ended up getting a second box for another
room, as Pauline was always watching a pet program when I wanted to record
something. So now I'm paying £25 a month for basic channels in two rooms.
Now, if I wish the movie channels, I'll need to pay an additional £28, or
£34 a month. This would bring my monthly subscription up to either £53.00
or £59. When you look at the movies that are available and how often they
are repeated, you really need to ask yourself whither or not it's worth
paying.
In Europe you pay 15 Euros a month for the full package, which includes
multi-room, High Definition and full sports and movie channels. In
addition, you also get all your local phone calls.
We are too soft here in the UK. We should get a bit more like the French
and stick up for ourselves and demand a fair deal.
Now if I was to get Broadband, HD, Telephone calls, movies, sport and
multi-room, I'd not mind paying £50 a month But even then, the Europeans
would be getting a superior service for a fraction of that.
Furthermore, the Europeans have lovely sunshine, long beaches and even
longer summers and if you have some vision, as I do, Have you seen the
women! We must be crazy and deserve all we get.
Best wishes.
