Cable Forum - General ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Sky customers can get Sports 1 & 5 for a £13.50 per month saving, eg if they only watch English football as this will give (almost) every match.
They can also get Sports 2 & 5 if they prefer cricket with lesser football like Scottish games.
WWE fans can also save with this as almost all WWE is now on Sports 5.

Looking at above it's not so different now for Sky customers.

I'm not so sure about your memory.

I thought it was that you got Sports 3 for free with either Sports 1 or 2.
Then Sports 4 came free with both.

Sports 5 was added a few years ago to gauge support for Champions League in its final year.

Sports Xtra was made internet only too at some point.
It was originally a channel.

Good info, thanks.

But they are adding streaming as well, and HD.

To quote the article, " The best of both worlds".

That was what was suggested when the surveys went out 2 or 3 years ago. From what I recall, 5 EPL and up to 10 EFL per season.

I imagine one of those will be a third pick on the final day of the season, they did that a few years back putting it on Sky 1

Rollover seems a nice idea but data allowances seem a little low for heavier users , competitors seem to offer more for similar prices.

I was expecting more competitive rates from Sky.

By comparison, BT's Plusnet subsidiary has entered the market with the following competitive introductory rates:
4Gb data 1,500 minutes £10pm
2Gb data 1,000 minutes £7.50pm

VM's rates are
4Gb data 2,500 minutes £15pm
2Gb data 2,500 minutes £12pm

Sky's rates are more expensive than either of the above providers.
3GB for £15pm unlimited calls for Sky customers, charged for non-Sky
5GB for £20pm unlimited calls for Sky customers, charged for non-Sky
