Very well put i agree entirely.

Also a fact i had not realised is sky sports collection is more expensive at the moment then sky subs pay!

Just been on skys website and it states if you work the pricing out sky sports collection is £18 extra with any mix of channels from 1-6.

On cable i currently pay £20.50 but the price on cable is anywhere between £20.50-£26 for sky sports collection depending on tv package.

And no red button interactive on cable,which sky now regularly put content on,therefore at the moment we get an inferior service at a higher price,how can this be justified i would like to know.
