Will you pay £29.50 for 6 Sky Sports channels?
 
Will you pay £29.50 for Sky Sports 1-4 and HD1 and 2 from October 2010? Thats almost £30 a month (sheessshhh)

I voted Yes because I like them but like I said earlier, when my mum finds out there is another increase she wont be too happy.

Looks like Sky Sports is the only way I'll ever get to watch NASCAR on uk tv... but I still cannot bring myself to splash out soooo much money each month. That's a HUGE amount of money every year - esp if you don't like bl**dy soccer!!

So, err... no is my vote ;-)

I voted 'No' because for what I watch on there its really not worth it to me. I prefer to go the pub to watch any football games I want to see, especially when its in 3D :)

I can still justify paying for the sky sports channels as when i am in,that is the bulk of my entertainment as i do not go out to pubs very often,i am at work loads though and very often miss the cricket matches i subscribe for,however when i can watch the coverage is good so is just about worth the money. But only up to a point.:)

Got no choice if you want to watch football these days unless you use flashstreamsports

I put yes, but I'll only carrying on up to a certain amount, as soon as I feel its becoming unreasonable, they'll be off.

Wouldn't pay Sky for any sports regardless.

I've been told that some races are available on the Open Access Channel but that's only available on $ky.

Its a joke, I was just about to get them the other day then realised they want £7 for HD & then ANOTHER price increase of £2. I can't believe it. £5 a fookin channel, how can it be legal :confused:

USA get like 20+ quality sports channels plus 100s of normal channels for less than £50 while we get utter cr@p for double the amount.

No way would I pay that. I am with Virgin because IMO XL TV is the best vfm basic entertainment package on any platform.

But if I wanted premium Sky channels I would go to Sky. I can't justify that kind of expenditure for a sub with Virgin in the knowledge that Sky sub will get me more. I know that Virgin have a couple of SSHD channels and the red button soon but SS is Sky's channel and they will continue to innovate. So VM customers will probably never have the full service that the Sky subs have.
