Bye to Sky

[A Quiet Monkfish]

Happily quit Sky now that my 60% off contract has ended. But, their arrogance is astonishing.

"What will you do for TV now?" - "I'll just subscribe to Netflix and watch Freeview". "You can't compare Netflix to us". "True, I'm paying you to fill up 20 minutes of every hour with adverts".

When they called to check that I still wanted to cancel

"What will you do for TV now?" "I'm getting BT for £20 a month" "But they don't have 340 channels like we do" "Hmmm, but how many of those 240 are time lapsed channels, shopping channels, religious channels and Urdu/Bangladeshi channels".

Actually, once you knock all those channels off, the only thing I would lose are the Sky channels. BT Sport is getting more rights, and is in UHD, and in a couple of years everything will be internet based anyway. Sky is ridiculously overpriced, and their Unique Selling Point has long since disappeared.

I'm going to get rid of sky also. In fact Virgin TV itself is awful, the 'tivo' box constantly freezing. If I can get over the aerial problem I'll try NOW tv, where I can pick a game and pay for it -at present I watch only 1 in 5/6..

Isn't NowTV internet based - so no need for an aerial? I'm planning on using it once in a blue moon when I need to binge watch a series, or watch a big sport weekend.
