Square eyes

Glad to see that Ofcom are going to have a look at satellite TV charges. I rarely go to the pictures or theatre any more, so TV is my main form of entertainment, and I am prepared to pay to get the widest choice, but I was a bit shocked when I sat down the other day and calculated that - including the licence fee - it's costing me the best part of £2 a day. Problem is that Sky (and I'm not just having a go at them - I'm sure other providers are the same) have a captive audience. They can - and do - put up their charges as and when they feel like it, and I have to grin and bear it. Certainly could do with some sort of regulation.
