Fair comment Alien, but there have been so-called Sky fans ramming that down cable users throats all week.
I appreciate you like some programmes on Sky - that I wouldn't bother with.

I think that VOD is steadily increasing. I'm wondering if they might have a separate channel on - it's tedious to scroll through lots of menus to get to the selection you want. Also, there's some news about free film deals, which I guess will be on the VOD as well.

I have two STB, one PACE and one Samsung. I do have problems with the PACE, as I think its now at the end of its life and can't cope with the current demands. If I hadn't been having a V+ box next week, then I would have called customer service and had a replacement box.

Going back to your first point, and you may not agree with me, but I believe that Sky deliberately engineered the problem in the first place with the over inflated prices. I think at the end of the day, it's going to backfire on them. But then, we'll just have to wait and see.
