The future of this company will be a major acquisition IMO, their current business is dying and they have a large bank balance. They need something to complement their cash flow and retain customers. I think Power, Insurance or BB. There are ways around the commerce commission rulings if they pull sports out of the business which would allow them to get the Telco option back one. The Telco is my least favorite option though.

Interesting listening to the Radiosport talkback last night.
Alot of disgruntled Sky Sport customers who feel they aren't getting value for money.
A few callers were saying they called Sky customer service to cancel their subscription, but the customer service reps offered them discounted $30/month deals to keep them on + free stuff like movies for 3 months.

Sky getting desperate to keep their loyal customers!

So exactly what more are they gonna be able to do with it that won't brick it? I already feel like throwing it out the window half the time.

Given the track record, it's hard to believe I know! - here's the quotes:

"Fellet confirmed there would be no price rise for Sky customers this year, but said he wanted to rein back "aggressive" discounts to new customers"

"Fellet said Sky planned to cut its content costs by 5 per cent in the year to June."

Regarding the decoder, our "next gen" decoder was actually pretty quick but a relative's older unit is exceptionally slow to the point of it being almost unusable. These older units should have been automatically replaced by Sky or not have received the new update(s).

Thanks JayRiggs, I will do that myself and call them after the US Open tennis and see what they will offer me. $30 a month and I may be tempted to stay. Otherwise I will cancel and just get my partner to join when the cricket season starts again...

I hope no one here has shares in SKT ... I would've sold out of these years ago. They simply haven't kept up with the times and are offering an inferior product at a premium price.
