I don't agree the prices are a rip off. They're only a rip off if you feel you have no other option. You used another option - you left. Sky TV is not an essential. Competition is driving prices up. The next step, I think, will be for an internet based company (similar to Netflix, possibly Amazon) to take over sports rights offering clubs a direct share in profits. Once that happens, Sky will be cooked because they are years behind the curve in this regard. Plus, I think it will be more flexible with people paying on a game by game basis.
