I didn't ditch the TV package on a whim or fail to look at the pros and cons of getting into bed with Sky. I have continued to suport cable since I got it installed in 1996. I have been waiting since January 2000 for first Cable & Wireless and then ntl to deliver on the proimise that was cable digital TV. They failed. The service as I see it has more or less stood still for the past five years.
As for Sky - the Sky+ box cost me 99 quid, and now for 30 pounds a month I get more or less everything I got on ntls family pack plus I get Sky Movies 2 ,4, 6 and 8 plus Sky Sports 1 and 3.
Oh and Sky Movies 1 and 2 broadcast many of its movies in DD5.1, although they do show mostly a load of old tosh! However I suspect Sky 1 will eventually broadcast shows like 24 in 5.1. Well maybe
Sky + is far from perfect but where is ntls offering? Nowhere on the horizon and that simply is why I got rid of the TV package.
Until you try Sky + don't rubbish it. It makes you look a complete ****.
