I don't think BT minds people viewing on the Sky platform. Just as long as they have BT Infinity and not Sky broadband. The costs that Chad quotes assumes a BT Sport customer taking broadband from elsewhere. The realistic cost of BT Sport (ie difference between BT Infinity with BT Sport v a competitor's product) is probably what PlusNet charges for access to BT Sport on the Sky platform - SD £6.00 pm (£72 pa), HD £7.50 pm ( £90 pa).

As Old Boy has posted before, Sky is heavily discounting to lock customers into long-term deals, partly because its Champions League coverage expires imminently.

Agreed. Will be interesting to see how the market evolves as BT integrates EE, and Vodafone enters the TV market, either on its own or via a tie-up with VM.
