I ditched Sky years ago, after I got a calculator out and worked out the cost per programme. There was maybe 1 or 2 shows per week that we actually sought out on Sky One (or any of the other scrambled channels), the rest of the time we were either watching FTA stuff or just staring numbly at the screen just because it was there. At that rate it was considerably more cost effective to rent DVDs of entire seasons of stuff we actually wanted. Or simply not bother at all, seeing as we really could have done with just watching less telly at that point.
The genius of Sky's marketing is that even today many people don't realise just how many of the channels they watch via their satellite dish don't require any subscription at all. Or even a Sky box.
