And that is something that, by law, ISNT allowed. You have to have competition in all sectors to keep prices competitive for consumers.

Slowly, Sky's prices are going up, and they are getting more for their money.

What the British public needs to realise is that we dont all need to jump on the HD bandwagon straight away.

This technology is still in its infancy, yet more and more people are pushing for it right now. Its not that there is DEMAND for HD, because I dont think the majority of the British Public gives a hoot, its the fact that the public sees these shiny new gadgets and they HAVE to have them... They are being drawn in by the fancy advertising, and the promise of a more crystal clear picture etc, even if they could be the new flop in technology (See HD-DVD for reference.)

Yes it was a shame about hd dvd it was supposed to be the better off the two the main thing that went against it was with it being region free.The good thing now the war is over all those lovely bargains picked up the reaping the other day 6.99 off flea bay.
