Ditching Sky

[Two Gun Bob]

I believe time will be the catalyst for Sky with so much new competition.
It happened with BT back in the day and they will have to adapt to the new markets or go under.
Price wise they are fighting a losing battle and most people can now see the wood from the trees and haggle or leave.

Someone needs to realise that people want just sports - as it is you cannot get sports through anyone (except NowTV) without an 'entertainment package' (read: 100s of channels no-one watches.)

I was about to ask this exact question. So even with the new sports channels they've done, there's no way of selecting a package consisting only of either a few of or all of the sports channels and nothing else? There must be millions out there like myself who would just have the sports!

The only (legal) way to do it, as far as I can see is with a NowTV monthly pass, but that is £33/mo for literally just standard definition sports.

Yeah I've got an Apple TV so I use the Sport day pass sometimes for £6.99 which isn't too bad, but like you say only standard definition!

Where did you get the 50% off offer? Does it show up via email or somewhere else? My contract is up for renewal at the end of the month and its scheduled to jump from £35 a month (SkyQ, multiscreen, all the channels but no internet) to £92 a month. Not a chance in hell that I will pay that given all I want is the football, Sky Atlantic and the ability to watch in the bedroom!

On the online chat but started at 10% off!

Blimey - you've done well there. I'll have to sharpen up on my negotiation skills.
