My mum was a Sky customer for many years, paying over £40 a month. She paid £199 to get a Sky + upgrade years ago (that was the the only way to get the box).
She cancelled recently and now gets free to air channels, however Sky, the tight bastards, disabled the recording capability of the unit!!
Now is it me, or is this bang out of order, given that she paid for the Sky plus box?
I'm getting her a Freesat HD PVR and the Sky+ will go on the kitchen telly.
Me?I would never pay for subscription TV coz I know what Sky are like. Plus I don't see why I should have to pay a monthly subscription to get bombarded with commercials on dozens of channels!
I'd definitely pay for high definition, commercial free, on demand movie streaming though.
