Skys income is now more than all the Cable Companies & Terestrial (Excluding BBC) But there FreeSat Package is cheaper if you have to instal new Digital Aerial (over 70% country) + a half decent Freeview box with twin tuners.
There was a James Bond film very like this whole episode not so long ago when the Satellite Company tried to Control the World...Was Fiction wasn't it!

James Bond film was 'Tomorrow Never Comes'. The Media Baron in that was called Elliott Carver and
was Rupert Murdoch by another name. Though at the end of film, to explain his death 'M' said he had supposedly fallen off his yacht and drowned - a direct reference to Robert Maxwell. Guess that's what's known as Poetic Licence.
