We had Sky TV for several years but hubby and I began to question how much we actually watched the specialist sky channels as opposed to the normal, terrestrial 5 channels we get here in the UK. We soon realised that 95% of what we watched was on those bog-standard 5 channels.
So we ditched sky about a year ago and now have freesat boxes (1 upstairs, 1 down) as well as a dvd/hd recorder so we can record any tv we want to watch while out. The cost of these gadgets was paid for in several months of not having to pay the sky subscription so now we are quids in every month.
So for us getting rid of paid digital tv worked out well. Even hubby who really likes his sport doesn't miss it because he's found different channels on the freesat plus listens to the radio more now as well.
