cws82us: I just tuned into Rialto Channel and hello I can witch Rialto Channels free. So i called sky and asked and they say free rialto channel weekend. from today to monday.

login: Yes, I noticed the Rialto channel was available too. Why do they do this and never bother to tell anyone? Presumably it's some form of marketing initiative. Really weird.

I saw it advertised last week on Sky. Then this week I was changing some account details with Sky over the phone and they said I could have Rialto for a month for a dollar - why not, small change.

It's a form of bait marketing.  They offer a subscription for one month at a way lower price (usually something like $1 per month) and they NEVER call back nor give you the option of automatically cancelling after the month is up.  Of course 90 percent of people forget so they end up paying for a month by month subscription to Rialto that they don't want.

bazzer: Times have changed, I guess?  It used to be they'd offer Rialto/Rugby/whatever for free for a month, now you have to pay $1?

Yeah, I know. But I found a coin rolling around on the floor in the car - don't eat many lollies these days, I had to spend it on something.

bazzer: You haven't heard of the Cappuccino Effect?
