And you can buy this at Dixons - so I assume in other electrical stores to.
I'm probably just confirming what you already know farm but as far as I can see the cheapest package that gives you UKTV Food on Sky is the Family Pack which costs �19.50 a month (half price for the first 3 months with free installation at the moment). It's not available on freeview anyway & even if you were cabled its the same monthly subscription.
The problem you have is that UKTV Food is not a freebie. It's packaged with loads of other crap because they know that you would never buy most of the other channels if each had a seperate subscription charge. Bundling them all up 'justifies' the higher price.
Essentially, that's how these companies make their money. (In my opinion though not as extortionate as the BBC & their TV licence. For terrestrial viewers it works out to be approx �10 a month for just 2 channels. For that �19.50 a month the Sky Family Pack gives you over 200 channels...)
