12) Your roof is covered in satellite dishes and you have about 5 different satellite receivers and a bank of TV sets to watch presentation from various TV channels worldwide.


Actually that would be really sad. People only have multiple satellite systems just to watch television that they cannot get from Sky, namely Italian, Indian, etc. In the case of me, it's to watch the footie cheaper.

50. The main reason you got Sky was so you could view other ITV and BBC regions.

51. You know what ECP, DOG, NPU, ARC, TX and N7 all are.

52. You've been randomly pressing 0 and Help on your Sky remote at various intervals for the past two months in the hope that you may have got the new software. When you find you haven't, you're disappointed, and jealous of those who have.
