Interesting information but it does seem like using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut.

By buying a freesat box in the UK- around 50 pounds or 100 for HD and putting up a dish you have free tv

bbc+itv+Channel 4 and 5 and many others free all year with no subscription. Dish size will vary on location, the box is not as good as a sky box and needs a dish a bit bigger but no cards, no subscriptions

I agree with most of what people have said, but 1000/month is a bit tight and leaves nothing for emergencies, like when the fridge or the TV need repair or worse have to be replaced

I have a second e-mail address. It's very good for keeping personal stuff separate and another address when sometimes a web site asks for an address and you are not sure. If the second e.mail address starts to get too much spam, just abandon it
