Just let me know if you can still get channel 5 after you've unsubbed and 
lost Sky one etc as we couldn't, for a while we could but had a message 
about needing to re-sub right across it and then it went completely.

Hi Trace.

Similar to my own story.  I have one in the livingroom, which I watch and
one in the dinningroom that my wife Pauline watches.  None of us watch much
TV, but you can bet on it, if you plan to watch something, then your partner
also wishes to see her program.  That is why I got another box.  I've been
told by a number of list members over the last few days that when I
unsubscribe from SKY then I'll be able to continue watching AD on Free to
Air stations.  This is working out nicely because all I was getting in
addition was SKY 1, 2 and 3 and the Sci-Fi channel and this was costing me
£25.  Not worth it at all, SKY 1, 2 and 3 are a complete waste of time and
as for the Sci-Fi channel, I rarely see anything on this that I like to see.
As I like AD movies, I'm going to sign up to the AD DVD hire service which
gives you three AD movies a month for £15.  So it's all looking pretty
good..  Should have considered it ages ago.

Best wishes.
Andy
