Actually, I did ask him this. He said he knew how to do it, but couldn't be
bothered. "There were just too many channels and they were all shite," he
answered.
His reasoning is a little skewed I agree, but his conclusion is irrefutable.
....Add to that, the fact that here in Ireland we don't get BBC, ITV &
Channel4 on Sky digital -but he had those on cable = "a big incentive to
stick with cable if it's available".
