Just been on skys website and it states if you work the pricing out sky sports collection is £18 extra with any mix of channels from 1-6.

On cable i currently pay £20.50 but the price on cable is anywhere between £20.50-£26 for sky sports collection depending on tv package.

And no red button interactive on cable,which sky now regularly put content on,therefore at the moment we get an inferior service at a higher price,how can this be justified i would like to know.
It all depends how you look at it (all costs are on top of appropriate line rental):

Typical minimum cost to get Sky TV and Sports is £36 (1 pack + Sky Sports)
Tpyical maximum cost to get Sky TV and Sports is £41 (6 pack + Sky Sports)

Typical minimum cost to get Virgin TV and Sports is £29.50 (M+ and Sky Sports)
Typical maximum cost to get Virgin TV and Sports is £42 (XL tv + Sky Sports)

with TV L and Sky Sports working out to be £34, you have to go to 6 mixes and Sports for Sky to be cheaper - by £1
