1. Yes you can.

2. The pause is removed automatically once sports start up again.

Re: Can I pause my skysports package while there is no live football on ?

So how do you actually implement this, online? Also, will you be credited from when the football stopped or from when you apply the pause?

Thx

Does it really matter?
Whatever will happen will happen.

What do you mean? I'm only asking how to go about it and possibly save myself some money!

Re: Can I pause my skysports package while there is no live football on ?

Just to point out that the page on the website has now been updated so that you can pause Sky Sports, BT Sports or both, if you have them on your package.

https://www.virginmedia.com/help/thi...ing/talk-to-us

The payments are not actually stopped. You get a monthly credit on your bill for the amount you pay (or the equivalent if it is inclusive of your package). The credits will be automatically stopped when the sport returns.

That is what it says on the online form, so I think it's safe to assume it's true.
