?90 a month i think he's getting ripped there m8.

i have a full sky+ subscription aswell as sky+ in the bairns bedroom and only pay ?50 a month,plus they advertise free broadband with packages now.

there is no way to sky free from a satellite, either with a valid subscription or join a cardshare and using a linux based receiver.
