Over here we have satellite TV. You still have to pay for it but one option is to get TV-PHONE and BROADBAND INTERNET for an economic price. For Satellite TV- I pay £20 a month. For Broadband Internet I pay £17 a month but this does also give me free Phone calls for Local calls 24 hours a day. So I pay £37 for the 3. But Sky-The TV provider- can provide- TV- & Broadband internet with free Phone for £26 a month. Limited On the channels and the Internet connection is not the best around.

Then again- You can buy the sky box for a one off fee of £150 and get limited TV Free. But without broadband

To be honest- Satellite TV does not offer a great deal. But the programmes are repeated so often- I do not worry if I miss the days TDF coverage live as I can see it this evening or twice tomorrow.
