To not understand why people pay for sky?

Due to technical issues, I'm running my tv through an old sky box I found in the loft. I don't have a subscription so can't watch any of the sky channels. However, I can see the listings.
It's so much poo it's unbelievable. Why do people pay for this?? Are they mad?

Sky+ box brings us more pleasure than anything we own. Allows us to watch what we want to watch when we want to watch it.
Fantastic range of channels with brilliant sport (of course at premium price) but At the Races thrown into basic package.
The ease of recording/watching back and searching through menus is amazing. We have Freeview in our bedroom but Sky is superior.

I moved up here to the Highlands 18 years ago, we had extremely limited tv reception through a normal ariel.
We got Sky and we now have telly,as does everybody else in the village, a whole row of satellite dishes.
Free Sat would work but not Freeview as far as I know, since the digital switchover.
I'll stick with Sky ta very much, and I always find some crap to watch.

I agree with you we used to have the full sky package. We dont miss it at all other than Dh gets sky sports through his mobile now for around 5.00-10.00 a month charged as an app through itunes.
That's all that we wanted it for. I do miss FourWeddings on living though pure crap tv.

We had a fairly basic package - some Kids, Comedy Central, Sky One etc, but no sports or movies. It cost us about £18pm, but when we realised we were paying over £200 per year so I could watch Everybody Loves Raymond and Two And A Half Men and DH could watch Aircraft Investigation, we decided it probably wasn't worth it.
YANBU.
