Same as anything really foxy, look how expensive a season ticket is for going to a football match, ( when people could) not to mention a rail pass, if everyone got together and refused to purchase them, they’d have to reduce prices, but that’s never going to happen

Yep, I realise it's just a pipe dream Primus, but I think if only a certain percentage withdrew their subscriptions it would certainly do some damage, operating profits or losses are sometimes on a fine line.....And look how quick word gets round on social media....

Re: F1 - Testing Day 1 Bahrain

I mainly keep sky for watching the f1, but I’ve realised there’s loads of stuff on sky channels I like watching too, I rarely watch mainstream tv, however, sky keep increasing their prices, so it will get to a point where it’s no longer worth it for me, although I should ring and cancel, apparently then you are passed onto retentions, and the price is miraculously reduced..

Oh, don't get me wrong Primus....
My reasons for not subscribing to any 'pay to watch' TV isn't because they aren't good value for money, or uninteresting content - I'm sure there are many documentaries and travel programmes that I would love - It's just that I consider my time watching TV is mostly wasted time, and if I paid good money out, I fear that I would want to take advantage of the benefits and end up being a couch potato and turning into a fat useless slob....
