They didn't "always have the channels" at all. Some did, but a large
percentage of subscribers only upgraded their packages (from the
so-called "Family" pack) when the "fee waived if you have 2 premium
channels" offer started, because the price difference between upgrading
and continuing to pay the £10 fee was only 50p/£1/etc.

They'll be downgrading en masse not just back down to 6 Mixes, but 4 and
2 Mixes, now that the offer has changed to allow them to use their Sky+
box without paying a separate fee for it.

Without Sport or Films I see no reason to have subscription TV at all!

Eh? So the sky marketeers have it wrong when they proclaim "record a
whole series at the touch of a button?"

Which only works, if said series doesn't miss a couple of weeks for
whatever reason.

Does it record every screening of each episode, so that you can choose
the one with the least amount of screen garbage on it? Sometimes the
repeats on Sky Two are clear, but sometimes they have an advert across
the top of the screen, so the one on Sky One the day before would be
the one to watch. Unless it's repeated again late at night, when the
advert will have probably gone because they won't be expecting anyone
to be watching.

I don't think it's that sophisticated. You'd need to set up a series
link for the programme on both Sky One and Sky Two and even then, I
think it would only record the first showing on each channel.

will this dvd rental company send someone to insert the dvd and also send a
choice of 8 - 100 dvds of fvarious qualities and genres so I can choose to
watch them or not as I feel. NO they will though,no doubt, hound me with
spam mail to BUY something othere than the dvds because there is no such
thing as a free lunch.
Much as I dislike the new system on sky(removal of 24hr movies, most
channels, and having the same movie on 2 channels for a whole week) I doubt
if I'd want to troll through lists of dvd's to watch either, nor have the
hassle of returning them when watched.
I did prefer the previous system of movies, premier etc having different
movies at different times but all day.

Sports and Movies are a waste of money, I don't see the point of
subscribing to them at all.
