The price of Sky TV has almost doubled since 2008, while Virgin TV costs are up by more than half. But there's less reason to have one than ever before

In December 2008 a basic Sky TV package would set you back £17 a month, while a basic Virgin TV package cost £11 a month.

Now to get the same channels costs you £30 and £18 respectively. That's £156 more a year for Sky and £84 more a year for Virgin. But in the same time wages have risen just 14%, research from Freesat has found.

“The price of TV packages has increased drastically in the last decade and is becoming unaffordable for many families," said Freesat spokesperson Jennifer Elworthy."

After all these years I still don't understand this dongle thing. OK, buy the dongle but you still have to have an internet connection right? Where's the cost saving?
