I got two Freesat boxes (1000 hours capacity on each) , a satellite dish and a guy out for 3 hours to instal. Cost €900 in 2018.I use “Freesat” for all UK channels, zero subscription, and it has the bulk of channels that the basic Sky subscription has, including Sky 1, Sky news & Sky Arts, & several HD channels, has pause and rewind live tv, series link recording, record two channels at the same time, reasonably good programme guide. Its a one off, Freesat recordable box purchase, it was about €300 about 12 years ago, still going strong.

I was comparing notes with a friend recently, who has basic Sky package, and the main channels he had that i didn’t were Sky Atlantic, & the Discovery Channels. Freesat is also very light on Sport, but i don’t watch much sport.
The only downside, is i have to switch “source” to get the Irish channels, as Freesat does not have these, but i rarely watch them anymore, bar the odd drama series, and more often than not, i watch them on RTE player.
I have a separate streaming box for Netflix,thats the only tv subscription i have.
Doesn't mean that their going to do it at any cost thoughThe marginal cost of an existing subscriber for Sky is more or less zero - assuming that the subscriber already has a satellite dish and a Sky box of some sort.
So retaining a subscriber at whatever monthly fee they can get is infinitely better than losing a existing subscriber. as it is all profit
All the bargaining power lies with the subscriber
