Because most viewers are not interested in that type of stuff.:D

Where did you get 6% from?

I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that nothing was added between this and the past price increase. I was a customer for just under two years and saw plenty of stuff addded between then and when I left with no prices increasing during that time.

Don't know a thing about freeview but I suspect it will be more like satellite than cable.

An increase of £2 from £35 to £37 works out at a 6% increase.

If anyone can tell me what has been added over the past year apart from ITV1 +1 which would make this 6% more pallitable then I'm all ears.

Thats,My point what l have been making for the last year is the distinct lack of SD channels added in what is now becoming a drought.:(:(

TV XL went up by £1, which was around 4% if taken with a phone line, or 3% without.

Your entire price rise doesn't relate to tv.

Plus you said in an earlier post that the increase is inflation busting which it is not. In real terms you are probably paying less for your tv now.
