There's so much more on offer & to think about now when it comes to satellite television. It used to be quite simple in as you had Sky or nothing, however the availability of affordable technology has provided so much choice that very few people actually know what they can have.

There's also so much to consider now, such as high definition, hard drive recording, multiple tuners, network access, video streaming, electronic programming guides, easy menu navigation, surround sound, the firmware that runs the box, access to the firmware for updates & to make changes, available types of decoding. Further more this is all before you have even decided what satellite you want to view from & if you want free or paid for channels.

But what about the sport, well it generally costs extra for live transmissions if you choose the mainstream monopoly supplier, however there are currently some none UK based European suppliers that UK domestic home users are entitled to subscribe to thanks to recent EU court rulings
