I agree with all this Chad i just think its a really sad world we live in now that other tv providers aren't allowing other providers to have channels as its the viewer who loses out. I know television is a business etc and sky are there to make money etc but i just genuinely think its a sad turn of events where companies like sky can withhold channels and charge more for sky sports etc than their own customers.
I sometimes yearn for a return to the 1980s...yes we had limited choices but tv was regarded as something for everyone and no one had to pay for it (except the license fee) rather than the dirty war we're all involved in now as one company offers super fast broadband and the other offers HBO content.
"cant i have both?"
"NO! You pick one or the other and you pay through the roof and be happy for it!!"
Thats my pointless rant over with. I'm only 28 years old and i'm already this cynical and angry at this world...
