    That happened to me about 6 months ago - they punted it off freeview. Bit of a liberty to do it to Sky customers though!

    I thought they got rid of it about 6 months ago. I seem to remember people complaining about it on BBC 606 and Faceache.

    Bunch of half wits they are, I refuse to give them more of my money. I will only subscribe to Sky Sports as soon as I can get Virgin media.

    Did you ever think that you would be this rich
    Did you ever think that you would have these hits
    Did you ever think that you would be the don
    Have a crib with a fifty acre lawn

    Did you ever think that you would be this paid
    Were there times when your ass was real afraid

    Hey yo
    Now who knows poverty like Robert and me
    Q, did you ever think you'd be dancin' and vibin' with me
    Q, did you ever think you'd push a Ferrari, blast a Nas CD
    With 5 TV's and DVD's, come on ride with me
    Hey then you fly like me
    Honey you heard about the style I got
    We from the wildest plot, we're police
    May the rest carry heat where best, we ghetto
    Never thought we'd ever reach this level
    My people behind metal
    The streets coulda had us, but now we live lavish
    Our preach be the baddest
    Bus 'em out while maids change the sheets on the mattress
    It's deep cuz I never thought I'd reach this status
    Walk around and grown women stop and look
    They recognize me, no longer hide they pocketbooks
    Hate me now cuz I ain't gonna stop, you're stuck

    Yeah thought this happened ages ago as all the channels got reshuffled.

    Every few months I'm on the phone to sky getting a new deal. Currently have Sports free for 3 months as I told them I was leaving a few weeks back.

    I tried this too.

    I phoned up and said, I'm cancelling Sky Sports and the movies and they said "Ok" <grr>

    It's saved me about £75 since I cancelled it so no complaints.

    Exactly, I feel dirty as it is being a minimum level subscriber. Without SSN I might as well go back to freeview, I think the only reason we still have it is because the missus like recording programs. Might have to get one of them freeview+ boxes.

    I was surprised too.

    I had Multiroom, HD, full Film and Sports packages and they **** said "ok"

    We were paying over £100 a month on Sky, and I'm going to resist the urge to get the Sports back.

    Get BT Vision which you can hook up to Freeview. You can record programmes and also watch some films for a couple of quid and some classic comedies they've put up.

    I'll not cancel because if I did I'd only end up spending best part of £100 a week watching the footy in the pub!!! <skintpisshead>
