I'd guess it doesn't always work out that way, though. I used to buy the little boxes when they were on special offer in Tesco, nab the six month coupon, and then re-sell the box. Then I stopped seeing the offers and/or the six month coupons. I haven't had a TV subscription for a long time now, although my Phone/Broadband is currently the one branded as Now TV Broadband.
