Just rang sky to cancel today - I have SKY+ and the regular channels but no movies or sports. told them I was cancelling as it was costing me Â£28 a month but I dont watch the sky channels so I'm getting Freeview with a PVR built in.

They offered to drop their channels and the subscription cost but carry on the Â£10 a month sky+ charge which means I will have the free to air channels plus the SKY+ capability.

over a year that's Â£120 compared to going out and buying a freeview box with PVR for around Â£100-Â£200.

so I went for it - Â£10 a month is just about acceptable for now. if the sky box blows up then I'll go out and get a freeview one.
