Morning all!

With Now Tv can someone tell me what sky are trying to accomplish? I'm guessing this is just for people who want freeview and sky sports etc?? Why are they trying to target these people with such cheap sky sports/movies prices?? 8.99 a month for movies then its 20 odd quid on virgin media??? 10 quid difference in prices. I don't see the logic from them?? Even sky customers must be scratching their heads and getting annoyed at the fact their television provider is giving better value for money for casual tv viewers???

If i was with sky and paying 20 quid a month for sky sports, including my tv and broadband and paying a hefty bill to them each month and then saw giles the elderly man across the road paying 9 quid for the same service i'd be absolutely furious??

If you loved sports or movies so much you'd have subscribed to them years ago?? I fail to see the target audience here except for winding up and frustrating current customers??

I may be completely bonkers and missing the point though.

MB- any interesting info or gossip for me??
