Hi Cricketfan,
Just like the National Party needs serious refreshing to keep up with the times, whatever that means, so too does SKY. Maybe otherwise the end is in sight "as we know it".

They definitely need 'refreshment' and by that I don't mean a few craft beers in the boardroom fridge. Sure John Fellet is a nice bloke, but he has been there since the start, over 25 years. The rest of the board don't exactly fill me with confidence....

Sky Starter is pretty much Freeview plus MTV, kids and TAB channels; and minus the Freeview Chinese channels.
It's embarrassing that Sky is even charging for these free channels at all.
They should only charge for channels that Freeview doesn't have.

When you think about the number of commercials you are also paying to watch, it becomes even less attractive.

I feel sorry for the investors who are still buying this junk, I guess alot of sentiments are still stuck in the dark ages.
Topped up my shorts today....all down hill from here on.

When I saw the headline I thought they might have finally got it and fixed their pricing model... nope, some old mud.
There are only around 3 channels I actually want that Sky offer (the rest is on Freeview / On Demand or other better streaming providers), but even with their new model would still have to pay $75/month to get those 3 channels (starter + premium + sport). Will continue pursuing 'other avenues' and watch this dinosaur stumble to its grave.

Yep that sums it up for me too. Ok I do want more sports channels, but to get the 10 odd that I do watch on the full package I have to still buy starter, premium and sport. Just not good enough. Even on my reduced rate I am going to give them the flick.
