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.

This is exactly why my Humax Foxsat HDR box has litterally just paid for itself.
We looked at the stuff that we watched / recorded and it was all on FTA channels. The only channel i really miss is Discovery.
Must really get around to punting the Sky+ HD box on to some unsuspecting mug while it still has some value
