Sky+ subscription for free

I read somewhere that Sky are thinking about dropping the Sky+ £10 charge
totally. Has anyone else heard of this and when it might happen?

It would be an inevitable consequence of the plan to get all users onto
Sky+....if Sky DO decide to go through with this!

Well, I'm certainly not getting Sky+ *without* them doing that!

Haven't they already dropped the £10 monthly fee? (Or is that only if you
have a certain Package of Channels?)

Yeah great idea - pay an extra £14 for channels I wouldn't watch
(whether Movies or Sports), and get something worth only £10 back...

It is waived if your viewing sub exceeds £30 per month.

Your assuming that £10/m levied by Sky is worth it! £120 a year, that 3
VCR's or half a DVD recorder. I know the 2nd tuner, but if you spent
£10/m on a second card for a second box, you could get better value out
of your tenner.

They only do that if you are getting 2 premium channels I think. That's why
I binned Sky+ off in the end as I couldn't bring myself to pay £10 per month
just to record etc. The day they drop the £10 all together is the day I
come back to Sky. I suspect they are thinking about it due to the amount of
people who like me told them in their 'exit interview' that they weren't
happy with that £10 charge. I think they only charged it in the first place
due to Tivo's pricing structure at the time.

In a way it was more justified with tivo because it used to recommend and
record things that it thought you might be interested in. As I understand
anyway, never used one myself.
