Only if they are prepared to go without BT Sport!

Having someone over a barrel does not work anymore..

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

You can get BT Sport on Sky either full price or discounted if you choose BT for your broadband.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Why?If people are prepared to pay £18 for one or £22 for two, they might as well go for the whole hog for £10 or £5 a month more. The more you pay each month, smaller increases like that don't matter so much. People won't be losing anything if they pay for the Sky Sports package already.

I do however concede that those who don't pay for it and want to watch football are disadvantaged with VM.

BT broadband don't make me laugh as Sky and Virgin might have their faults but BT no thanks as previous experiences many years ago taught us not to touch them with a bargepole ever again.

Im not with them just mentioned it's an option.

They need to become more flexible as some of the old ways are changing.

Thanks MM for your succinct words of wisdom.

But not everybody wants that as some only follow 1 or 2 sports and that's it.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

You dont have to have BT broadband for this, we had BT Sport on Sky for a couple of years but have never had BT BB.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

That was what I meant however probably didn't word it well , you can subscribe to BT Sport on Sky or you can get BT Sport on Sky discounted by taking BT's Broadband.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

I know, but at a cost!

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Agreed but then even on Virgin you have to take the top TV package whether you need it or not I do accept however this generally works out cheaper.

I'm pretty sure BT have even started charging for BT Sport on their own platform however only a small amount I think.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

Yeah it's £3.50pm on bttv now although you can get that knocked down to £1.75pm.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

I cannot see a lot of VM customers being happy about this.
VM certainly wont carry most of them UNLESS they charge for sepoerate channels.

We had a text from Sky re the channels launching - plus new ones that they will have.

Our contract with Sky ran out yesterday, and my wife threatened to leave and we got a package for £50.00, which l am happy with.

Although, The wife wanted to keep VM.

I simply caanot see VM having all of the channels from Sky sports as they wont make any money on them.

Re: All change for Sky Sports channels & packages?
 

VM got all them Arthur

Now all Virgin need to do is QUICKLY clarify and provide pricing options. E.g. How much is full package, how much are individual / dual channel options and confirm that these are available. And is the Sports HD charge staying.

These are the questions with answers outstanding.
