While I actually agree with you, not really sure that analogy works.

The problem with Sky is they buy the exclusive rights to things. So, if you want to watch Premiere League football, or watch (say) Boardwalk Empire, you have to subscribe to a Sky channel. You can't (legally) watch another channel to get the English Premiere League. You can't (legally) watch Boardwalk empire on another UK channel, and it's not just a case of watching another show.

Supermarkets tend not to have exclusive agreements to sell goods, and even if they did, you can probably get the same thing, but another brand.
