Apart from Sky Sports the only other channels I watch are the Discovery channels.
I think I'm right in saying that if you got any programmes on your library off the discovery channels that you want to watch you best watch them before Wednesday or you will lose them.
Surely Sky will have to give us a reduction on our monthly bill?

Aren't Sky upping their prices at the same time?
I'm on Virgin so hope they don't go the same way
On the very smsll bright side, Quest will still be on Freeview

Gold Rush is my favourite TV programme and am thoroughly peed off by this. There is no way Sky will be reducing prices as they have said the money they save will be ploughed back into their own programming. Apparently Discovery want a $billion for Sky to retain their channels which is ludicrous so you can't blame Sky's stance.

Sky have upped the price by £2.50 a month from this month the cheeky bastards.

I watch Gold Rush too and its p1ssed me off aswell.
I'm in two minds whether to have it cut off because I'm out of contract. I could still watch Sky Sports via my daughter's Sky Go account.

If we all boycotted it would change.
Taken up reading, listen to radio more , use freeview, use your broadband for Netflik /Amazon ,get an allotment, keep fit, ride a bike, save money, feel better knowing Rupert isn't getting your dosh.

Shite this is news to me. Nearly cancelled sky last year due to their price hike but decided to stay after threatening to leave and they significantly dropped the price. Perhaps this is the outcome of their business model starting to fall apart, I sincerely hope so. I do like the sky product offer but their pricing is unrealistic. Life on Mars is right, if we all made a stand en masse...

They were never going to leave. If they lost 5.5m viewers (as they claim) they will also lose advertising revenue. Just brinkmanship - that's all.
