I lost my job in June and to cut costs got rid of sky and took NTL believe me SKy was good loads better then NTL.

Its probably because I got used to it had it for the 10 years.

the thing with ntl is that you dont get the new channels

the one i like to watch is PTV or QTV or ARY OneWorld

then theres Sony Max ... these are some of the asian channels, that you cant get on sky.

thats why i got both

i had sky for years , prices just kept goin up , more and more repeats , the advert breaks every few mins was annoying , films were usually old ones unless u decide to order ppv at more cost ,best thing i done was to cancel it

Got to agree, you dont really notice how much you use it until you dont have it, found that out a few years back although not using it much now, heard a few folk saying that if you phone up saying your thinking of cancelling it because of the price sky will give you x number of months at half price, knowing my luck they'd probably just cancell it there and then and not offer any discount

Your 100% right about the EPG TW is like a slug it takes ages to get the menu the Sky menu is like a flash.

There are loads of annoying things about TW but its cheaper and thats the thing at the moment.

I've just used sky for the first time at friends house. It is very slow compared to my dbox.

you are right mate,i canceled last year and got a humax pvr,when i phoned sly up i had already bought my new box and the guy said he could knock a couple of quid off!!!!,why don't they do it anyway!!!,back to the story 3 months later a nice gentleman from sky rang and offered me sky for 6 months half price for the full package and me sky+ again---i bit his hand off,anyway 6 months was up and i tried to bin it again but the phone line was hammered so i emailed em and got it canceled(took two attempts).
just took me sky box out of the tv cabinet(three weeks after) and got the hummy up and running again and the phone goes again,would you like sky for 3 months half price--of course Rupert's henchman and so i sit watching sky till after Christmas.
so ive had 9 months half price saving me ?180

where is the customer loyalty in all of this,come January i will be playing the game again ringa ringa sky man a pocket full of money!!

I had Sky and it was pretty good. But then I got ntl and a "box" and I'm not really bothered. Picture quality is pretty much the same but I never had to call Sky once during the time I'd had them. ntl have been round like 4-5 times.
