I will not pay a penny to watch channels with ads or any sort of
banners, DOGS, pop-ups, voice-overs, etc. etc.

If I ever pay for TV it will be to see the programmes and nothing
else.

It's only a matter of time before the 'main terrestrial' channels copy
this idea. That'll be the point to give up with TV as an entertainment
source IMHO.

Seriously, if you are ****ed off with it. CANCEL your subs!!! It's the only
way Sky will learn. If enough of you cancel and tell them why, they will
finally get the message.

Don't just sit here moaning and do the "British thing" and take it. Do
something about it!

I cancelled Sky 6 months ago and don't miss it one bit. It would probably
only take about 500 cancellations in a single day for alarm bells to ring at
Sky

Same here. One of the reasons that I stopped paying Mr Murdoch a monthly
fee was because of the way $ky One was butchered, and that was a couple
of years ago.

Sigh.

I cancelled in 2000 because of Sky's on-screen crap. So, Sky have lost at
least £2,000.00 in revenue from us.

I will not subscribe to any defaced TV service.

Could you say that a few hundred more times, I think there are some
people at the back who haven't got the message yet.
