    I read Sky is offering 60% discounts to sign up apparently, that's the sort of desperate offers you get from newspapers to subscribe to them

    Mrs C.F. lives her reality tv shit on E (dry retch) and I watch mostly espn. The kids watch cartoons. The rugby and cricket I watch, if i could get that content online I would seriously consider it although we would need to try to get fibre again, I wasn't thrilled with the gung ho nature of the chorus techs last time who disappeared when the job looked too tough

    Fuck me, what a dinosaur.

    Sky shareholders should be demanding his resignation and that they employ someone who can lead them towards a more sustainable business model.

    I cancelled sky about a year ago and moved to fanpass.. what a shit service, and it's getting worse. what do these idiots do? they put up the fucking price for a product that just gets worse and worse.

    Pay TV, like the music industry has done with spotify etc needs to embrace the digital marketplace, not complain about it like sky are doing.

    It's like these shitty old trash heap restaurants serving nana and grandad food and then complaining that millenials have killed them. If you don't fucking move with the times, you get left behind.

    The not so secret secret to success, is giving the people what they want. Not adding shit channels that people don't want and charging them more for it. They should be flexible. See what their most popular channels are, and offer mix and match packages for a set price. Or allow people to build their own selection.

    But nooooo. Keep doing the same thing that has been failing for a long time and leaking customers., Oh yeah, and always offer deals and discounts and rewards to brand new customers. Cos why would anyone want to keep their existing client base happy?

    Thing is that they actually have a valuable product in the NZ marketplace. A rentable sat dish and decoder.
    Given our often hilly terrain this is a must even in some cities.
    Sure you can go Freeview but unless you want to pay for your own equipment you are probably tapping into a Sky dish.
    Make the dish and box with free channels the core product at a reasonable price. Everything else to be add ons

    It's PETA that are complaining. The same PETA that reportedly euthanise dogs as pet ownership is animal cruelty or something. The got fined for capturing and killing some poor little girl's chihuahua.

    I feel your epithet for them is spot on.

    I think PETA are quite similar to Greenpeace. Started with an admirable idea, then got taken over by batshit crazy militants who want to get their faces splashed across the papers.
