This is why more landlords & managers are switching to foreign satalite feeds, the packages start from about £500 per year. "Sky" don't like this, so they're trying to take licensee's to court in order to stop them. It's still a grey area about the legality, but "Sky" (to my knowledge) still haven't had a successful case. The courts are backing licensee's, stating that "Sky" sell the rights to air the games to foreign countries, therefore, whatever the other countries do with the feed is up to them.
