You are a troll, and not a good one.

You wouldn't think anyone would be biting considering that "Bubo"
tried this same thing in the same group some months ago. Looks like a
few have fallen for it, though..

I see no value paying such amount for that ****. News channels? Incredible! You have to pay to watch CNBC and Bloomberg. This can happen only in the UK.... PayTV News channels.... Can't beleive it..

I think the majority of Sky's subscribers are forced to pay for the
****e to access the sport or movies that they really want. I dont know
how many people pay for just the lower packages, but I bet it's less
than 255 of their subscribers

Well I must be one of that 255. I even just downgraded so now only pay 18 pounds
per month. My guess would be that a large number of subcribers do not take the
premium channels. The sport may well be a monopoly so if a sports junkie you
will have to pay for your fix. The movie channels seem rather poor value
compared to renting DVDs.

It's more to with bluntness. it often gets up peoples noses and the
gaming groups frequently become war zones due to it. It's pretty
obvious this guy is nowt more than a stirrer, he doesn't want a
discussion, just having a dig and ****ing folks off.

No, I really wanna know why you pay for channels full of commercials
and why you pay for news channels.

What is the value of "UK TV Food" for 18UKP/month? Without TV you do
not know what to eat? And you even willing to pay to see what to eat?

I may be arrogant and initiating conflict, but facts are still facts.
TV channels can do this only with english people. Why?

If you just move your dish a little bit you get for example CNBC free.
Even SKY digibox has F/C and symbol rare limitations, SKY determines
what you can watch, not you.

I suspect that you are right.

why are you obsessed with UK food?
I know that you do not have any quality home grown programmes of your own
and envy the UK for its range of programmes, but isn't it a little pathetic
of you to try and belittle the TV output of this country because you have
the choice of what? three channels all transmitting in a foreign language?
We have plenty of channels transmitting in foreign languages, as we have
many people from foreign countries who envy our lifestyle so much they have
emigrated to this country, all available through SKY.
What channels does your tin pot country have for foreign nationals?
CNBC? why you want to watch that rubbish and waste your small supply of
electricity on that?

I'm fully aware of this, but your attitude helps nobody and as we live
here, and most of us are not of the inclination to hike up the side of
a building with spanners between our teeth we are what we are. I have
a service I want, in general, though yes, obviously it is full of
****. The main five channels are also, though free, full of ****. Why
would CNBC be any better?

What do you suggest, that we storm the battlements of Sky
headquarters? Take no prisoners?
