Guys, I've had sky as long as i can remember. Quite content with it to be honest until BT went and bought everything. I've the complete sky bundle so 75 a month plus multiroom into the bedroom brings it to 80. Now, if i stick with Sky I have to pay for extra BT Sports, which is a piss take. Whats BT vision like vs Sky HD? I was back home there and seen a mate had it in, watched the St Pauli game on it at his. Just back home tonight and thinking of ringing Sky up and telling them to shove their package. But before i do that, whats BT vision like in comparison? for picture quality etc Thank you.

If you have BT broadband you should be able to get the BT channels on sky for free (know I do) though you can't get them on multiroom as it only works on one skybox which is a fkn pain ------------- 1312 |

Can't get virgin media in Brentford, no? Try pricing each of them and see. BT can be tricky if you want sky sports and multiroom, plus BT vision only allows you to get SS1 & SS2. It doesn't have SS3, 4 or 5. -------------

Virgin media might be a better option: they have all sky sports channels, and you can add HD if you want. -------------

Philliy is not an extra £10 a month, since BT Europe kicked in? Yeah I can buddy! I hadn't thought of them to be honest. I didn't realise until 10 mins ago 3,4,5 weren't on it. Can't win, I was impressed to huge saving to be had! 45 a month nearly half the price. Is there a delay at all between satellite and steaming it? I've Netflix but id imagine live TV would be different. I'll price Virgin now. |

I would check the sky options but for some reason the sky website won't allow me to price sky UK, only sky Ireland. -------------

Apparently we dont have Virgin Media  thats odd its London
Ive heard from a few people, if you ring up sky and threaten to take it out their prices start dropping.. magically

Is it fk £10, if it was I'd not be paying it, as had to renew the contract in June or July and specifically asked about 5 times that if I renewed would I have to pay for BT sport and kept being told no, also a lad in work got a £8 bill 2 or 3 weeks ago from BT, rung up and they refunded the fee and give him BT sport for free as he was an existing broadband customer(he'd been charged for BT sport). Basically BT's whole marketing ploy for BT sport is to get you onto BT broadband so it makes sense for them to be giving existing customers the sport channels for free ------------- 1312 |

I might be changing Broadband supplier tomorrow if thats the case!  I was really fcuked off, 80 a month which is a substantial enough fee a month. Basically 1000 a year not to have the football I'm with plusnet for the house phone and broadband, i'm going to start pricing the broadband and phone deals with BT see what the difference is

After a quick search on uswitch , BT are coming up at 46 a month with the line rental and free evening and weekend calls I pay 36 at the moment without the free evening calls. Get the missus to look this over. Might be a decent saving to be had! I'm not even sure why we have a house phone, everyone rings us on our mobiles. Only person who rings the house is her mam SD, that would be a smart idea now! But when i first moved in her, i didn't have a clue what i was at I'll price it all together with sky now.. i hadn't thought of that..

I stuck my postcode in their website and it came up no available in your area. I found it really surprising personally! This is London!

We had a virgin leaflet shoved in our door before in London, liked the look of the offer so rang them up- they didn't operate in our area! Clowns ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

Missus rung up Sky this morning, got all 3 with them now. And saved a tener a month by threatening to take it out, which now means my BT package costs me nothing extra I got the movies and kids package complimentary for being a loyal costumer, some sales talk.
You can get Virgin Media in Derry but not in a busy part of London

Seen a tweet that the price has dropped from 10.2m to 9.3m a game. Or sure if that was just sky or included the BT package. The only packages remaining are bank holiday and midweek ones. Get free BT with eir internet, so a bit annoyed they have lost the sat evening game, usually enjoyed that -------------  YOUR 3 IN A ROW LEAGUE CHAMPIONS |

If BT lose the Champions League rights next time round they're screwed. This auction has been very bad for them. ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class." Orwell, 1942. |

Looks like limited interest in the final two packages. This tv deal is way down on the previous one... https://twitter.com/AdamParsons1" rel="nofollow"> 
Sounds like the interest in the simulcast packages (F and G) was limited. Huge resourcing challenge for anyone, including Sky or BT, to cover 10 matches at the same time. And not clear that UK viewers like the idea.

Same number of games sold for £5.1bn last time, £4.4bn this time plus the midweek ones which brought in will unlikely top the £5bn mark. Overall Sky are paying less per game, Bt paying more per game. Good coparison of both deals here... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-43052024" rel="nofollow - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-43052024 |
