Best/Worst of the Web

It is somewhere around that angle yes. But you couldn't get it without an official Sky box and viewing card anyway as it is locked into it's own system that other sat systems cannot access or decrypt.

It is very annoying that they stopped the F1 channel as I used to subscribe to that when it was available. Was it really £12 a race? I had no idea it was that expensive. I'm sure I got a special offer or something as I only paid about £50 for the whole year.

50£ for a whole year is a good price. To get Premiere legally, you have to pay 650€ for a year for the whole bundle (about 40 channels), and even then, it's not legal, as it's a German service, and they don't offer it for Luxembourg. There are some small distributors here that give you a decoder and a pre paid card "under the table" and it works fine.

You can only get it when you open an account in Germany and use that for paying your monthly fees. But it's nearly impossible to get an account there, when you don't actually live there.

So as usual, the illegal method is the best, although it doesn't work all the time

One funny thing, the payable channels, like the cinema or special sports events channels are also free when using it illegally, but you have to pay for it when you have the legal package

And for the movies, I just d/l my keys daily when there are good films, and I can watch them on the Taquila channels.

Possibly there was a season pass or something, can't remember. Only tried it for one race, and realised I spent 90% of the time on the main feed so was paying £12 simply for no adverts (and no James Allen, hang on, that was definitely worth £12!)
