You think you are being ripped of, we in Ireland pay 76 for the full package from Sky.
And at one time the was par with £ we didn't get a reduction from Sky.

Dennis: Of course not. Sky is about making money for Sky.

@Cranston - as far as I know, Eurosport 2 is not free-to-air on either analogue or digital, and you can receive France 2 and France 3 by moving your dish to point at 5W (instead of the 19E where Eurosport Germany is), as long as your equipment can cope with SECAM (instead of PAL used by Germany and UK). If you get black and white with a bit of a buzz, it's not decoding SECAM correctly, but maybe you'll still think it's watchable enough! That said, France 2 and 3 are free-to-air in digital at 5W, so maybe it's worth a new receiver?

Channel one's closure was announced months ago. Challenge only shows classic game shows, so no sci-fi.
