SKY+ and SKYQ still need a dish, sky stream does not.

Sky stream upto a minute behind

that's what I thought. I believe you can take Sky at about £26 a month. But that won't include the racing. Anyone know the minimum u pay for racing ?
|

By:
I’m with Virgin nowadays but I’m pretty sure Sky Racing used to come with the basic TV package.

Sky are continually taking the piss with their prices. It’s absolutely ridiculous that I can get Sky Sports and Sky Cinema cheaper with their main rival.
|
|
By:
looks like you pay £22 a month for sky sports on top of basic package. therefore you would be paying £40+ a month to watch the racing. That correct ?
|
|
By:
kenbo do you watch sky sports with a dish and what/who do you pay ?
|
|
By:
If you only want Sky Racing and it is still included in the basic TV package then you wouldn’t have to add Sky Sports.
|
|
By:
With Sky I was watching with a dish. The full package was £108 a month. Obviously that includes everything plus their fibre broadband.
I’m with Virgin now on a new customer contract and I’m paying £70 a month. |

By:
Cloughie once said it only takes a second to score, if you watch on Sky stream you could miss two goals.
|
|
By:
Sky wanted £120ish to renew last time. Piss taking feckers. Pathetically I will be able to get a much cheaper deal when I go back to them as a ‘new customer’.
|
|
By:
when it was called ATR it was part of the basic package ( without football ) and was little over £20. Now I take it you have to take the football to watch the racing.
|
|
By:
since rebranded Sky sports racing assume it's now part of the sports package.
|
|
By:
I’m not sure then. The Sports package is the only one I wouldn’t be without. Streaming matches on firesticks or trying to find a link online is pretty infuriating. For a fiver a week or so it is a must for me.
|
|
By:
which has pretty much doubled the price swifty. Don't think many guys on here know the basic package /racing. Most take the football one way or another and so get everything.
|
|
By:
You don't have to take the football if you just want the Sky Racing.
|
|
By:
unless youve got all the up to date gear available and now you have,in running piunters are just a charity for those with fastest pics,so you might as well just use a dodgey stick whilst their still out there for between 60 and 80 a yr or bookies feeds
|
|
By:
You need to look at the site and see what package suits you best. I haven't had football or films for many years now.
|
|
By:
are u saying I can watch Sky Sports racing for less than £30 a month sparrow ?
|
|
By:
it took the uttox stewards 8 adverts to call dead heat

|
By:
I've had a look at the site it costs £22 to add sky sports to basic package which will total over £40 a month.
|
|
By:
Just go to the site and see for yourself as to what is available and for what price.
|
|
By:
Ive got the very basic package and that includes the racing
|
|
By:
If you don't want the football then you don't have to pay for it as the Racing is in a different package.
|
|
By:
That sounds better. Still think it's poor value versus my £12 a month rtv
|
|
By:
How do you normally watch racing from Sky Racing, Howard?
|
|
By:
if you order it today they might have worked out the result of the 2nd at uttox before it arrives

Ive got the very basic package and that includes the racing I also have basic with documentary channels but will have nowt come November…..cancel….jumping from original £43 - £50.50……get stuffed ! |
|
By:
I don't kenbo until the next day on the ATR website ! Don't really need it for the live races ( although not having head on replay pics you get on tv ) as I have two computers with one large screen on blv.
|
|
By:
I wouldn’t bother with it then, Howard if you’ve managed this long. It’s a load of sh1te which I rarely put on.

1 billion (allegedly) to the premier league….4 worth 20 seconds of viewing…..ffs….
Keep paying fodder..satellite,gate,food,strips….and we will continue to treat you like fodder…..cold stare coming off the coach…. |

Apart from recording any ( evening ) racing to watch later that night the main benefit would be to watch RTV in HD. Only got a sky+ box not a HD box.
|
|
By:
I think you can still watch HD channels with Sky+. Think you just need a HD TV?
|
|
By:
FWIW I have no interest in Sky. As sk says they are a law upon to themselves. I don't trade or do IR so BLV does me. It may be behind by 3-4 seconds but so what? Sky are not much better. I had to get rid of them several years back because they sometimes put my price up TWICE per annum.
I could afford it but dislike being ripped off to the extent that I got charged by my bank for going overdrawn because the increased their prices. That may be fair enough but without giving you warning? I'll stick with BLV because I only need it for racing. As for their 'packages' and new 'not need a dish' policy......no thanks. |
|
By:
deffo not kenbo. I have a HD tv. You need a HD box. All bbc sd channels and itv4 sd recently removed from my old sky+ box. One day they will remove rtv sd then I will need to upgrade.
|
|
By:
I hardly ever watch a race on Sky now with it being 7 seconds behind live and a flashing toteboard obscuring the screen.
|
|
By:
sparrow any idea which algorithm gives the % chance of horse winning at the bottom of the screen, personally i find it a waste of screen space?
|
|
By:
Ah, OK, Howard, I wasn’t sure. HD doesn’t bother me too much. When you see the breakdown of your bill they could be charging you a tenner a month for a few HD channels.
It needs better regulating imo. The prices are too high and too varied between customers. You haggle with them and get a price you’re somewhat happy with, then come April they’re allowed to stick it up another tenner anyway. |
