Breaking down my package, I'd guess I'm paying about £20 a month for Sky Sports. Does anybody know if I can carry on as I am, or will this rebranding bollox mean that I have to get them all individually now, which will end up costing more?
|

By:
i'm not a expert kenbo but i think i seen £27.50 for all the sky sports channels.
|
|
By:
You don;t have to have them individually no.
|

By:
I've just checked my online bill breakdown. £16.50 a month for Sky Sports.
I got boxsets a few years ago because ATR was included in it. That was £8. It's now £23. A rip off. They're even showing ATR on Sky Sports tonight. Thanks guys. |
|
By:
if you have all the sky sports channels for £16.50 you doing well ken, but obviously there's that basic package with that at £23(compulsory)= £39.50
all adds up don't it. |
|
By:
Try acestream, it's delayed, but it's perfect quality and no ads.
|
|
By:
Yeah Kenbo you must have a big discount . Box Sets is £38 and Sports £27.50 more at full rate , with £6 on top for Sports HD
|
|
By:
£5.10 for Sky Cinema.
 £12 for multiscreen. Yes, Toby. They're all discounted when I look closely. |
|
By:
threaten to leave, you get a better deal.
|
|
By:
You have 40% off the main room Kenbo , only the Multiscreen is full price

By:
It doesn't seem like I'm doing too bad then. I haven't got an aerial so multiscreen is the best way for TV in the bedroom.
Broadband's £25. |

you download it, and get the links from reddit where they're posted, or http://www.livefootballol.me/acestream-channel-list-2017.html

These companies will start stopping these streaming sites soon
|
|
By:
they've been saying that for years, it's impossible to keep blocking streams.

Looks a bit complicated for mac, will have a good read about it first before I just try to download the wrong thing.

youtube ?
they want it gone. nibbling has begun. |

A gent on here recommended ultimatemania.rocks.
No need to download anything - costs a little money but can try it for one day for a quid or two. |

By:
the future is the sporting bodies selling access to their content directly over the internet in every possible granular form (i.e. full season down to individual match) at a price the market considers fair.
sky and BT are not going gentle into that good night, unsurprisingly, but like death, it's inevitable. The only danger is that if they resist this for too long, they wont be involved in the production, which is the only piece of the pie that will left. |
|
By:
and fwiw, sky's new pricing model is only making this situation worse. once you start slicing the pie, everything becomes more transparent, and more open to competition.
|
|
By:
Regards blocking things - can you can get around it using a VPN? Would that help?
|
|
By:
yep. or an anonymous proxy.

Opera browser gives you 5 countries to choose from for free.

Sky's new pricing structure isn't really a big change - no matter how much it is promoted as such.
Until they scrap the basic package BS. Also, its a bit like buying stuff on sale - 3 for the price of 2. Very few people are going to buy one. |

By:
Well, the problem is they're saying it costs £216 to watch the cricket for a year.
Now, if some bod at the ECB works out that they get £200 million a year from sky, and that more people are prepared to watch and pay for cricket if sky are by-passed and the product is available on the internet at a lower price, what do you do? 7.4. million watched the climax of the 2005 ashes, and Channel 4 were getting about 5 million viewers for the final test. Sky is lucky to break a million. The first ashes test in 2015 had less than half a million watching.... You bundle it all up in nebulous total sports subscription an it's harder to untangle. |
|
By:
£216 a year for cricket? Not unless you pay for a basic package too (£22 pm)
I get your point about commercial information, but the pricing discourages selecting only one channel - but most people will choose more than one....£18 for one, £22 for two, £26 for three and £27.50 for ALL TEN. I reckon the vast majority will choose ALL. The basic package adds £22 so the difference between getting just one sports channel and all 10 is relatively small. So little difference. As you were...etc. |

I've just upgraded to unlimited fibre, and SkyQ2 for an extra £7 a month.
