it's happening for cricket now, it's on SS1 & SS2 with Mix simulcasting.

On European weekends it can happen with rugby-union too, although admittedly that's only a problem for one more season then it's BT's problem.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Tbf sky and bt are paying for content if vm did the same instead of crying to ofcom all the time.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Has anyone had any contact from Virgin about these price changes? Heard nothing so far.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Nothing. Last I heard was that VM weren't going to change their Sky Sports packaging.

It would benefit Sky commercially if they could contractually get away with preventing VM from following suit.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Nothing is changing on VM bar the new channel names prices will remain the same until summer 2018

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Seen something on dspy for pricing on SKY 1 sports channel £18 2 £22 all £27.50.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Yep ;

Sorry to follow this post up, and I don't mean to dig at Bananaman, but...

For several hours today, different live rugby is on SS1 & SS5. Different live cricket is on SS2 & SS3. Admittedly, SS3 is simulcast on Mix, and both rugby games could take up Arena & Action at the same time, but.....

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

I'm just off the phone to Sky a few minutes ago, at the moment they are offering all the Sky Sports channels for £20 per month, along with their lowest TV package which is £15 per month and includes Atlantic, this is an 18 month deal, and if I was to take it I'd also need three Sky Q boxes which would cost me £139 for installation, and put the monthly cost up from £35 to £47, imo that's a very good deal, and if you are on your own and only need one Sky Q box then it's only £20 for install and a monthly cost of £35, this is for TV only. Obviously most people would need broadband which Sky supply, but you'd also need to take their the telephone line to get their broadband, and for their fibre max, which has speeds up to 70/80 Mbs, it would cost a total of £43 including the landline, so all in all a total monthly cost of £90 for the lot with three boxes.
I'd probably go with their TV package and keep the broadband from Virgin.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

On top of that if you like movies because you'd have Sky sports you could have movies for £8pm extra so all in for £95 is pretty good tbh. But even if you keep vm bb and get sky tv only it'd still only be around £55 all in tv wise if you was to take movies lol.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Sky Sports is now £22 a month for 1 year with VM see here http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...8#post35911488

Offer not open to existing Sky sports or movies customers

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Also worth mentioning Sky don't include BT Sport like VM's top base package if that's important to you.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Which is ok if you want Sky Q I guess.

Based on the screenshots and information in various threads, the interface is dreadful, and one we'll avoid as long as possible.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Purely personal but I would never go back to Sky+HD , I find Q pretty intuitive and easy to use and for us the pros far outweigh the cons but then I've never really obsessed over an interface for me it's more the extra functionality Q brings.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

MM, do you use their UHD? and if so does it cost extra?

Thx

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

I have the 2TB box and multiscreen and UHD is included in line with your subscription.

I believe those are the requirements , the 2TB box and Multiscreen so if you don't have or need multscreen it's extra.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Being honest l tried Sky Q when we stayed up with our family and being unbiased here l much preferred the V6 interface.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

I much prefer Sky's UI. VM's looks antiquated by comparison. However, I think this may change within the next 18 months to two years as a common Horizon look is rolled out by Liberty Global.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Well each to their own OB.:)

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

I've just checked my emails and I have one from VM saying thanks for signing up to the sky sports offer the only thing is I haven't done so

:confused:

Anyone else had an email overnight?

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Sky can't include it. They don't sell it, BT do.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Is it possibly a phishing email?

If not, I suggest calling Customer Services just to make sure you haven't been subscribed to something you don't want.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Really well I'd have never.......known that ;)

With pedantic posts like that you must be a Super User :D

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

I clicked on the link you posted while logged in to my Virgini account. I haven't heard anything about it being activated by email.Is it possible that my clicking on it has activated it on your account? If so, I'm sorry. It did come up with my name when it said it had been activated.

It could be that the URL on the link was user specific

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

The email address is noreply[at]awscampaigns.virginmedia.com

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Does anyone here subscribe to Sky Sports through VM and also use TV Anywhere to watch the sports channels on a Windows PC (preferably Windows 10)?
If so do you still have to use a browser for the Windows device or have they developed an app for it yet?
I'm seriously considering the VM offer of 12 months for £22 as even with the HD charge its cheaper than Now TV but do need to watch some sports when I'm on the go on my Surface Pro 4 from time to time and don't really wish to go back to poor Flash streams in a browser.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

I thought you watched Sky Sports on the Sky Sports app , I didn't think Sky Sports was part of the TV Anywhere app.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Sadly you have to sign in via the Sky website.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Are you saying that I can watch sky sports on my iPad by logging into the Sky website?

Does this mean I can also watch it over my 3G connection as I used to when I was with Sky?

I currently have the top VM bundle with 2 V6 boxes - if that makes any difference.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

you download sky sports app from app store then sign in using VM sign in got to be a sky sports subscriber to watch the live channels

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

The Sky Sports iPad and Android app have an option to sign in for VM customers.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Thanks for the answers guys - I will give it a go
