Well i chose VM without the sports but doesn't the BT deal run out in 2016 and not 2015?

Re: Which subscriptions are you likely to subscribe to in 2015
 

The BT Sports deal does indeed run out in 2016 but the Champions League deal starts a year before.

Re: Which subscriptions are you likely to subscribe to in 2015
 

The BT Sport deal will still be in place in 2015 so I will stick with Premier to get that and still have Sky Sports probably as my team is currently in the Championship and I love my cricket also.

I would not pay for BT Sport for any price really as can cope without some Premier League footy and the Champions League.

Unfortunately I love sport and have XL TV pack and SKY Sports with HD subscription. Won't hold my breath but I hope SKY will drop this annoying charge of £7 to VM customers for Sports in HD especially when we only get two of their channels in HD :(

Re: Which subscriptions are you likely to subscribe to in 2015
 

sky will never drop HD charge make far too money from it

Re: Which subscriptions are you likely to subscribe to in 2015
 

You can't say 'never', Dave, because if their competitors end up not charging and Sky looks too expensive to people, they will start to lose customers.

In recent years, Sky have had the edge over Virgin Media in some respects, but I don't feel that they do any more. This means that they will start to lose customers to VM, who offer more for less. Very soon, they are going to have to take another look at their prices and pricing structure and think of something new that makes them stand out from the rest.

come on OB you think sky want to lose all that money there making from it and it hundreds of millions and for 1 they could not afford to lose it they need it

Re: Which subscriptions are you likely to subscribe to in 2015
 

The world is changing Dave and Sky will have to change with it.

Re: Which subscriptions are you likely to subscribe to in 2015
 

name one company that willingly drops hundreds of millions Den

Re: Which subscriptions are you likely to subscribe to in 2015
 

But the market is changing quickly as HD is becoming the norm now thus it becomes much harder for suppliers to justify the extra charge in a increasingly competitive market.

Re: Which subscriptions are you likely to subscribe to in 2015
 

yes agree it becoming the norm and totally against charging twice for same content which the HD charge is should be illegal charging twice for same content

Re: Which subscriptions are you likely to subscribe to in 2015
 

Excluding premium movies and sports both VM and Sky are pretty much similar if BT Sports not your thing

Entertainment Extra + is £32 and includes HD
VM XL TV is currently £29.50 includes HD another forum member has said this is to increase £2.50 bringing them level.

Re: Which subscriptions are you likely to subscribe to in 2015
 

Does that include the TIVO fee MM, or is that just for the standard box?

Perhaps the extra £2.50 is to pay for the missing HD channels and Atlantic?!?;)
