This has left the skyworld package unattractive & has actually cost sky revenue rather than increase it

There is a lot of truth in that - they are in effect cutting down the amount of money they would have taken from me had it not been for the way they have moved a lot of stuff - especially movies - onto boxoffice.
I cant see why anybody would get skymovies now - it seems to be that all the good movies are on box office (surprise, suprise) but when previously i may have paid a subscription to get the movies if the stuff that was on box office was in the normal movies package - i rarely even bother to check box office, and in fact since i got my sky installed i have used it once.
A similar thing - although to a lesser extent - is happening with the football, which for now i will stay subscribed too, but as soon as all the good stuff moves onto box office, that'll get cancelled and i will on the occasions im not down the pub watching them - get the ones i really want to see on demand.
However i will be paying less that i would have done for the subscribed package.
