You don't *need* any kind of pay TV, even with kids (I count Sky and VM basic packages as pay TV, as you need a monthly subscription).

Even assuming you need TV (and I know people who get along perfectly well without it), then you could buy a freeview box for £20-£30 and just watch that..

Sure, the kids would moan at first, but they'd would actually get used to missing nickelodeon etc. and they will eventually find other stuff (such as reading) that occupies their time.

So, yes, "if you cant afford something, dont buy it" most definately does apply.
