The £55 for all the content - it was nuts - I didn't watch it that much - I had the odd thing on BBC series linked.
Also it is the end of the sports season for Rugby and football so no point having it over the summer.
The cheapest Sky would get it down to for me was £34 for just sport but this is like £400 a year for TV a lot of cash + TV license.
Freeview is pretty compelling - at the moment this is all I use in my bedroom so a PVR would make the world of difference.
The main thing I also want is the ability to have content on multiple boxes rather than always having to watch Sky in one place!
I also spend a LOT of time traveling so I resent it when I spend weeks away and get back to Sky with no time to watch it *or* it has crashed...(!)
I also want to be able to get to my content remotely - I tried to use a Slingbox but it was never perfect and I want to download the content
Content could be lifted using this -
Vadim Computers : Gadgets - Netgear EVA800 HD Digital Wireless Music Player However it doesn't plugin to Media Centre so it wouldn't work as an extender.
I want the best of all worlds the software and applications are there and it should be worth it.
