RE: [ukha_d] Today's FT Sky to charge £300 for new set top box

["Timothy Morris" <timothy.morris@xxxxxxx>]

It is an extra 10 quid a month, which is to be frank a rip-off seeing as it
uses the personal planner t  time recordings, which all "normal"
subscribers
get for nothing.

I'm not usually one to bash Sky, Microsoft et al for being money grabbing,
but they seem t  have forgotten the subsidy for those of us who were dumb
enough t  pay full price for our Digiboxes in the early days before they
started giving them away.

Once they d  one in black, rather than the garish black and silver I've
seen
in the promotional material, I'll still end up getting one though.

Tim.
