£5 per month is cracking value when compared against the £30 odd that you'll be paying for Sky Sports thus coming season.

I don't have BT broadband though, so like a lot of people I'll be paying the full amount, plus the full Sky package as they aren't going to be dropping their prices.

Or you just don't bother. Just stick to one. Or none.

I pay £3 extra to get HD. If the fee is £5 a month, I'm hoping that incorporates HD.

I don't have BT broadband either.

So i won't be able to subscribe for a £5?

EDIT - Just been on BT's website. It's £13.50 a month for non broadband customers. Not paying that.

Sky Sports chief Barney Francis fired the opening shot in the latest battle with BT Sport by claiming that viewers' interest in Europe's flagship Champions League is on a rapid slide.Champions League coverage accounted for 2.5 per cent of Sky viewing

Its sad that all sport is going behind a paywall now. To watch Football I would have to pay £38.50 a month now.

Thats £462 a year!! Its almost impossible for me to justify it, so I dont.

I agree partly however you don't have to sign up to all football. I was with virgin last year and upgraded from medium tv package to xl for not a lot more and this gave me BT. That was enough games for me to justify paying for. I've now moved and can't get virgin here so signed up to BT for broadband, phone and TV starter. About £24 for all 3 and I get BT sport included. OK hadn't allowed for the £5 extra however that's not going to break me. I'm not a massive champions league fan however I will get that, some premier league, German, Italian, French and plenty more. More sport than the wife will allow me to watch. I could never justify paying for sky.

Its a shame for kids growing up that unless the parents do pay they don't get to see football, cricket, rugby etc. If they don't see how do they become followers?

Easier said than done. I’ll probably no subscribe to Bt initially, but if I start having problems finding alternative options, no doubt I’ll cave.

Actually I did invest in an Android box last year in anticipation for BT Sport upping their prices this year, to see how well it worked. I had no issues with it, it was certainly handy for 3 o’clock Saturday matches, but I’d still prefer to watch through Sky.

I actually expected it to be a lot more. Their comments about their pricing going to reflect what people paid for Sky had me worried. I probably will stick to the Android box initially, but it’s good to know that if that doesn’t work out then it’s only an extra £13.50.
