I suppose it depends on what your interests are. I personally don't think it's value for money as I don't watch sport all the time. I just watch some football when it's my team, or a European game. So I'm having to fork out the same amount of money as someone who has the channel on every hour of the day.
I feel it's over-priced with far too many adverts, which should really be covering the bulk of their costs.
Sky could quite easily cut quite a considerable amount off their subscription rates for sport and still make a comfortable profit for future investments; ie buying rights, etc. Just because Sky have created an artificially high bidding system for sports does not give them retrospective right to over-charge in the first place.
If the lowered sub and wholesale costs, they would get more subscribers which would give then more power with advertisers. Might even balance out for them in the long term, and they come out looking better for it.
