How Much Do You Pay For Sky ?

Re: How Much Do You Pay For Sky ?

£32 a month for the basic package plus all sky sports channels. No movies or kids. I always ring up 30 days before my contract is due up and put a 30 day cancellation notice on and refuse any offer they give me to renew. Then within a week I get a call back from the team that can give out the best deals, and they always offer me something around £30 a month. One year I let the subscription lapse and within 3 days they called me back and offered £24 a month.

With bb? Phone etc? Seems £70 is about as cheap as you can get them all, haven’t even got a landline phone but you still pay for it with sky. Movies just aren’t worth it. Got NOW Tv for 3 months for 3.99 seems to have quite a few. If by some miracle a decent film arrived I’d go to the cinema or download it.

Just seen mine is going up to £120 !!!! PM

I've got all the sports, HD and movies

How much do you pay?

£70 per month for full sports, movies and entertainment packages plus Sky Q, HD and multiroom but no phone. You need to ring them up, threaten to leave and then sit back and be amazed what they offer you.

Yes

Of course it would be great to watch lots of football but the whole matter of TV rights and the highest bidder has always turned me off

If it wasn't for the tv rights and bidding processes, quite a few clubs, including probably our own, would now be out of business.

I knocked it on the head with wetherspoons pubs in Dec 2019 when Brexit loving Tories got back in.
Saved myself a fortune and stopped giving money to the Tory enablers that own both companies.
You soon get by without the hyped up shite.

We were on the verge of bankruptcy when Sam Hammam left. Take away the approx £200m in tv rights money we earned in the Prem since, plus all the other money from televised games in our promotion years and believe me, the club would no longer exist. Anyone who thinks otherwise is living in cloud cuckoo land.

if no TV deals had ever been struck, there would still be football clubs, just football players would be paid an average wage instead of millions

You think that the obscene TV money has led to financial security for football ?

I don't. I think it's led to clubs spending like mad to join the big boys who want all the money for themselves .

Of course you have got to be in it to win it but the Premier league is a crock of crooks and I wish it had never started .

If you look at the league tables from a few decades back, it was a lot more competitive. The Big Four, or the Big Six is a relatively new concept, and it's not been in the best interests of football IMO.

What do you get for £120? Just the Sky channels? Do you have to pay separately for the Internet?
