...advising me of their new pricing structure. Apparently they will force me off Base and onto their new £15 deal, but not until December when my initial 12-month contract with them is up. Suits me, I would prolly have upgraded anyway.

What Sky are therefore doing is ensuring that their most basic package includes channels that are now on Freeview (like E4) and NTL/Telewest base packs (like Sky Mix), presumably so as not to look so uncompetitive. Sky's base pack is so appalling I would never have subscribed had we any Cable, or Freeview signal out our way (there's barely an analogue signal either). Nevertheless, they are still looking quite expensive when compared to NTL/Telewest base packs.

C'est la vie.

Incidentally, the letter also says there will be some upgrades to the EPG, particularly to the 'favourites' system, which is currently very poor in comparison to NTL. I can't wait! Navigating through the EPG to the few channels I subscribe to at the moment is a right pain.
