I’m in this category - back in the day I had NTL mostly for the broadband but also because our house never had a terrestrial aerial and it was in the days when it was the easiest way to get access to all the BBC’s digital output; I then had sky because we moved to an area with very poor terrestrial signal and subscribing to a sky dish was the only effective way of getting any tv at all (pre-Freesat). We cancelled our tv subscriptions years ago and these days have Prime Video (though initially that was for Prime parcel delivery benefits rather than tv) and Netflix, because for a household with kids of various ages there is a far higher concentration of watchable programming on that platform. We get far more with two streaming subscriptions than we ever did out of either a Sky or NTL subscription, and at a far lower price.

Excellent point well made.

Off the subject, slightly, my Now TV sub was due to finish on 14th January this year, I was paying £3.49 per month for the entertainment pass which gives you all the good stuff on Atlantic, I got notification that from 14th January it would then be £8.99, so I decided to go down the cancel route, but, they gave me an offer I couldn't refuse, which is £1.69 per month for the next three months, not bad eh...
