Re: General Sky TV Discussion

Sky's Now TV entertainment pack price is going up from 4.99 to 6.99 per month on the 31st May.

http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php...rice-hike.html

Just when we were thinking about it.

You can still get it cheaper than that at the moment by buying a bundle , for example

A 6 months entertainment pass with a Now TV box included is £34.99 or £5.83 a month for 6 months.

Its quite simple cut your prices and adapt to a much more competitive market.
It seems the analysts went a little early Den , most are now saying it was a pretty good quarter , always difficult predicting.

Game of Thrones ad breaks to be reduced to one from this Monday.
