| 812761 | 2009-09-22 20:18:00 | We don't watch movies. We don't watch sport. We don't watch sitcoms - American, NZ or other. We do watch the doco channels on SKy, I also watch Food TV when husband is not around. SO I couldn't go back to normal TV ever. |

None of us wish to see the subscribed ads so it is normal TV for us, the rich people can watch the sub-normal service. I am glad we have a choice, even if it is a choice among garbage flavours. |

| 812763 | 2009-09-22 20:59:00 | As I am still "working" and not rich I would not get Sky as I would spend too much time watching it. I don't like sport - so there's another reason. I have been staying at my Mums and aside from some of the Docos, there is not much to watch. Even the BBC and Sky news etc, get a bit much after a while. And they seem to repeat their docos throughout the month, so you do not really get that many programs. |

| 812764 | 2009-09-22 21:10:00 | Food TV FTW! Loved that while we were staying with relatives over the christmas holidays last year, so good :D When you look at it that way, $30,000 .... or SkyTV ... I dunno, it seems like a *lot* of money ... + interest PA on it, I wonder what it'd work out to :D |

| 812766 | 2009-09-22 22:25:00 | Well I don't have Sky and I have no intention of getting it ever! Not worth the money in my view for the amount of TV I watch. I can go rent six movies for eight days for $11.00 and once a month I can get six movies for $5.00 for eight days with the coupons I have. |

| 812767 | 2009-09-22 22:30:00 | I love the Food TV channel, especially the British programmes. If ever the other TV channels lift their game to include enough of the specialty programmes, it will be goodbye Sky. Somehow pigs might have to sprout wings before that happens. It is an extra expense, but neither of us smoke, so we feel we can justify it. |
