I've just cancelled my Sky subscription so at the end of the month
I'll only get the non subscription channels.

What is my menu going to be like, I thought the current one was
supplied by Sky so will I still get the same one?

Exactly the same, but on those programmes/channels which are encrypted
you'll see a banner message suggesting that you subscribe.

You can get round this slightly by setting-up a favourites list of only
the FTV/FTA channels that you'll be able to get. The bummer here is that
good ol' $ky only made provision for 20 channels in your favourites list.

Thanks for the info, I've got freeview as well so between the two some
half decent programs.

Sky has a habil of gradually but persistently increasing the
subscription so enough is enough, most are repeats anyway.

Make sure the billing doesn't stay the same !!!!! Mine did, had to take up
cudgels.

You had to sleep with somebody to get your bill reduced? Sounds a but
extreme...
