I currently subscribe to Sky Sports (& movies) but am increasingly looking at having to cut back as everything is going up apart from my wages. I'm already paying over £100 pm for my virgin service (as i am sure many other on here are to)- thats over £1200 per year- it's a bit crazy really. I've already downgraded my BB and telephone and scrapped my HD premier channels subscription.(well you dont even get all the Sky Sports HD channels anyway- thanks Sky!) You get to the point where its hard to justify the outlay.
The prospect of having to fork out more for BT Sports well i am increasingly thinking i probably wont. If they charge say £15pm as some think and another £25pm + for sky sports- thats the best part of £500 per year to watch sport on tv. crikey.
You can see why more and more are looking at shall we say 'alternative' ways to watch live sports.

Yes, i am in the same boat. i like the sports...but...not sure i like it that much.
I might not take BT, I think they have the 12:45 saturday slot. Just means I won't catch that game live.
To be honest...most games I could do with not watching (some are dire), and the highlights might suffice
Of course, i say that now, near end of season. Once I have had to live without football over the summer, I might crack
