The installer finally came on Saturday to put up a dish for Sky. We had cancelled on the phone because the viewing card hadn't arrived - but it turns out the card was sent to the installer! We have managed without satellite for years and I have always thought that the dozens of channels would just cause arguments and ovedosing on TV for the kids. The plan is to get the free installation by signing up to the cheapest subscription for 12 months - and then just use the dish and digibox to view the free to air channels. I know Sky hope you can't do without the extra channels after a year - but I think even our kids will be sick of Malcolm in the Middle and the Simpsons by then.
With all the mix up with Sky - who originally had us down as living in the UK - we got an extra viewing card - a UK one. It is deactivated but can still be used to get the UK free channels - BBC1 2 3 4 ITV 1 2 3 Cbeebies - which is what we were hoping to try and get anyway. So it all worked out OK in the end. The only problem now is how to stop the kids from arguing about what to watch next.
Th emajority of the channels are just complete rubbish.
