We had a satellite dish installed this week. Pay a one time fee for the box & install (~£150) + £20 for the Sky card that enables "Free to View" channels, and you are good to go. No additional fees. I'm guessing we have well over 200 channels. A surprising amount of good free content, sports channels being the notable exception. At least 20-30 of the channels are music video channels, which can be captivating for those of us with short attention spans. I had been wondering if the content available would reflect a more European attitude towards moral issues. It wasn't as noticeable on the few broadcast channels we had been receiving (basically the Beeb and ITV1), which seemed to edit out some gun violence and allowed some swearing. However, it's boobies galore on the freesat channels. After 10pm, even the SciFi channel is showing Cinemax-style softcore (no penetration, no wieners.) The real bonus has been all the TopGear. I'm quickly getting caught up on all the back episodes. Deb is now a fan too. I signed up for studio tickets, which have a 1-2year wait list. Maybe we'll get a pair before we head back.
