It may have cost £200 for the Sky+ service but it only costs me £40 per month (I know it is going to £41 later this year but NTL will follow suite in due course) for the full pack with sports and movies rather than £49.50 for less channels with NTL and I would miss Motors TV which is not available on NTL. In two years I will have saved the £200 cost as I don't want or need the NTL phone line. I will have had the many advantages that Sky+ give that nothing else compares with.
One of the main reasons that people have problems with Sky reception (and with many other services) is that they sit there and accept a less than perfect service from the odd installer who is not up to scratch instead of sticking up for their rights and insisting that matters be put right. Your previous posts regarding your Sky experience have indicated that you have been guilty of this.

Everyone has different experiences of course.......I may well be very lucky and apparently Nynex did a good job of cabling the North West.
I did ring Sky on many occassions but there was little I could do int the end but settle the remainder of my contract and cut my losses......they didnt want to come out again, they were going to charge me. I tried complaining to OFCOM who didnt really care either. I think when you have a problem that big there is little that can be done, I had about 6 visits from Sky with different engineers, none of them rectified the situation to a satisfactory standard, I never signed a form to say I accepted the work and Sky didnt really give a monkey about me or my house.
They were probably gald to lose a moaning git like me!
