Let me explain... 
I realise that Pay TV is synonymous with cable/satellite TV, and I was about to answer the same as Harry. Then it struck me that actually in the UK and NI if you want to watch TV (including cable & satellite channels, according to the CAB) as it is broadcast (ie not on dvd/video/catch up on the internet etc) you are supposed to pay a licence fee. Which effectively means that any TV in the UK & NI is pay tv (not sure how it stands in other countries).
So no, I've never had satellite/cable along the lines of Sky or Virgin; but I do get the terrestrial channels and those on the freeview box. And (even?) with all that choice, it's usually very very hard to find something remotely worth watching. So I don't usually bother with it. |
