To me the cost of the pay tv is far to expensive, what we have to have is several companies that do the same product.

At the moment l pay nearly £80.00 per month for Sky and £65.00 for VM, there other options but the services they provide are not good.

In this climate at the moment Sky have frozen there prices till 2012, but that l think is because people would move to VM. When you think that purses are now being tightened l feel that the future of pay tv is poor, as people no longer have the money.

You have to be competitive, but l think Sky are wiping the door, and there are no plans to revise pricing. At the moment we have Freesat, Freeview, BT Vision and a new one soon Real Digital, but in about two years who will still be around, that's anyone's guess.
