So whilst there is no doubt prices are going up, don't think they'll be as steep as that as I think it's getting to saturation point now where people are seriously considering dumping traditional pay TV for a combo of FTA and streaming services. A steep rise would just lead to many cancellations.
I also find it very interesting that Sky are throwing 50% off TV for a year offers around like confetti. I'm seriously considering going to Sky myself as you can get the full Sky TV pack for 12 months for £38.25 per month whereas I've just cancelled Sky Sports with VM which was costing me £36.25 alone! I'm in contract with VM until July so will be able to see the fallout of the price rise before deciding.
I think VM are going to need to have something big up there sleeve as they already have the most expensive price for Sky Sports in HD and come next season I'd be very surprised if BT give away their Champions League coverage for free to non-BT customers.
So coming soon to VM is another price rise. Hopefully we'll get something else too as whilst it was nice to get SSNHQ and SN in HD on New Years Day, there are pretty much zero rumours flying around so it's not looking overly promising.

Nothing has been confirmed that why we posted "Here is the Sky rumour price rises." for on that post last night.
