Many Lifehacker readers favour Channel BT over pay TV, but there are more than 1.6 million households which pay for Foxtel, and another three-quarters of a million which have Austar. Oddly, having lots of extra channels isn’t necessarily a major incentive for choosing to pay for TV.
TV Tonight reported recently on a survey by pay TV industry organisation ASTRA which asked subscribers why they had pay TV. Just 52% cited the range of channels on offer, which means that wasn’t a consideration for nearly half of the subscribers.
That struck us as a rather low percentage, so we figured we’d investigate why Lifehacker readers pay up for pay TV?
