Why I hate Sky
 

So I got Sky back in for the cricket thanks to their half price offer.
Wonderful, watched loads of the cricket over the weekend whilst also
entertaining the kids.

But now my evenings are a nightmare, as on the basis that I watched
cricket for 5 hours, the wife has now stolen the remote and this
evening I have been subjected to some fecking diet show on living tv
and a repeat of the X factor.

It will be cancelled in 2 months and 28 days!

Is Sky any different to NTL (I think soon to be Telewest) cable tv ? I
am thinking of getting my mother's cable tv switched to the selected Sky
satellite package as she's usually paying £30 per month for cable. This
includes the phone line but as she's using BT and it's under a contract
with them it's a bit expensive to pay for a phone line she's not using.

NTL bought Telewest.

3 month at half price offer here -

Sky package prices are cheaper than NTL (at least they were the last time I
looked).

Use the Parental Controls option. Set it so that every single channel
except Sky Sports are PIN protected, and dont tell the missus the PIN.
Job done.
