Probably won't need withdrawal patches! Ken :illogical There really isn't much on it worth watching. Movies you can getr out on DVD. The only thing is live sport, but, but for the big games you can always go to a friends, or to a pub. |

| 812744 | 2009-09-22 07:18:00 | I got Sky MyHDi a while ago as my old decoder was playing up and got talked into it. It cost $99 to get installed and they did a multiroom installation for me. Not that it took much to do that as there were Sky leads to both rooms and just had to hook the unused one up. A break down of weekly approx costs are Sky $11.74/wk Sport $3.87/wk MySky HD1 surcharge $3.46/wk Multiroom + HD $5.76 That comes to $24.83/wk or $107.60/month A bit overpriced I thought. That is without Movies, Arts Channel, Rugby Channel, Rialto or Music. Add those and that would make it $154.10 per month. By the way, I have had Sky for over 17 years to date! Ken |

| 812746 | 2009-09-22 07:42:00 | I used to really enjoy Sky. But since mum passed away my brother and I couldn't justify the cost. Also we hardly ever watch TV these days so we're saving on power costs as well. | Greg (193) | ||
