Cable Forum - Merged:-Comcast makes Bid for Sky

Its not too bad. Ill sign up tonight. Asks for viewing card number so if you have more than 1 box do you have to pay for box or is it per account like it is now?

I heard only one box

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

There are various adverts, interviews and features running on the channels just now. Worth a watch. The adverts suggest only BT Sports customers, who take broadband from BT, can watch the channels on the go via an app. 2 different devices can watch the same stream at the same time! Looks like BT Sports will not be on SKY Go.

Infinity is a distant dream here I'm afraid , I've just done the maths and switching to BT Broadband would save me 55p :D hardly worth bothering

BT Line Rental £15.45 , Evening&weekend calls £2.00 , BT Unlimited BB £16.00 total = £33.45 with Free BT Sport.

Sky Line rental which includes Evening&weekend calls for me as I originally had them £14.50 plus Sky Unlimited BB £7.50 , BT Sport £12.00 total = £34.00

But you can also pay upfront with Sky at £9.95 I'm led to believe , I think you have to ring though.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

Ok so i am trying to price up BT inifity BB for BT Sports, plus its faster than Sky BB as fibre. Let me lay it down here so i know if i am correct in my costing.

Sky:
*ESPN = £13
*Line Rental = £14.50
*Unlimited BB = £7.50
Total = £36

That is how much it cost for ESPN, BB and Phone line now.

BT:
BB Infinty 1 = £23
Line Rental = £15.45

Total = £38.45

So BT is £.24 a month more but i get faster BB and i get free BT Sport and i can watch it on the go cia the BT Sport app

Im trying to work out of i should stick with Sky BB and phone or go to BT. No matter what im staying with Sky TV

If you pay in advance, it is 33.75, 2.25 per mth cheaper than sky

but, lets see how sky will react. Some discounts will negate the above :D
