Mother had sky internet and telephone, this was disconnected when she died, all done by Coop who are doing the probate.
We also use Sky+ HD lowest package and we simply took our box to mothers house, my wife insists the free sat and free view does not have enough programs of the type she wants to watch, however after returning home and starting to watch sky again I feel there is very little point in sky, watching programs like Alibi may show programs I have not seen, but wait a couple of months and they are repeated on Yesterday, Dave or some other free program.
So I have stated that only advantage of Sky is sky's own programs, Hog Father, Going Postal etc, all the others only advantage is seeing them sooner, same as hiring videos in days gone by.
So looking at the other pay systems, be it Netflix's or Amazon or another, it seems like Star TV in Hong Kong for the other pay packages if you pay, then no adverts, so it seems better if any pay for TV is anything but Sky.
However then we have the question who to get broad band from? Having Phone, broad band and TV all from same company makes some sense. Often cheaper that way, so at the moment we have no phone, broad band or pay TV.
So until you get a package you don't really know what you will get. So any advice please.
Other than Terry Pratchett movies I can't think of a single thing we have watched on Sky which was not latter repeated on free to air channels.
