Sky though
Sky and other Subscription services are often parasites and poor value for the consumer. They ought on Internet to be able to constantly increase the long tail catalogue.
But in practice they behave like a video rental shop. Netflix removes stuff from catalogue.
Actually buying the actual physical discs can be better value than a mindless auto-renewed subscription that still charges the same no matter how much or how little you watch.
Almost 92% of Sky's Satellite viewing time is actually Free To Air content. That's not counting pay TV repeats of FTA content.
Get a BIG PVR and ditch the rip off subscription, Buy the disc of anything you want to watch more than once.
There is also a "digital divide" on internet based Video content that doesn't exist for disk or broadcast. Much of BBC Disk catalogue seems overpriced too. (RTE even worse.).
The reality isn't as simple as the article suggested.
