How much are you prepared to pay for Football?

[-V-]

This is the first season in years where I have paid for skysports. I was planning to call up and cancel sports and movies 30 days from end of the season.

But that would still leave me with the entertainment package at £21.50. If I cancel everything does that mean that they come and take away their sky box and equipment?

If youve had more than 12 months you keep box etc.. if you cancel the tv they offer u a freeveiw card which costs £20 or £25 one off cost so that the box still works. Something along those lines lol

Cheers thanks will give them a call

I was with Sky (no contract) and last year I signed up for a 10% reduction offer if I signed up to a 12 month contract. I'm still in that 12 month spell and I'm damnwell hoping they can't increase my monthly fee.

I was wrong. Despite me signing up to a new 12 month contract, they can still increase my package by £4.50 per month but I can't leave ... cheeky ****ers. I'm going to leave when this is up and sign up to a newbie offer under Mrs Muddled's name.

You'd think a contract would be binding to both parties- apparently not. They can just increase the cost when they like but you can't do anything

You'll probably find that price increases are written into the contract.

They are with Mobile Phones. I get a email every year about them putting my Contract up with RPI. Its a joke really, because my Rent doesnt do that, neither do any of my other fixed term contracts.

£4.50 a month is quite a jump though, especially considering a service like Netflix is £6.

[Muddled]

Yeah, probably. It's just incredibly cheeky as they lured me in with a 10% saving (£6.60) and not even half way through, they've bumped it up by £4.50.

Well that's Sky Sports cancelled. If i had my way i'd have cancelled all Sky TV but the wife was adamant that she wanted to keep some of the channels.

£12

They'll start trying to woo you back with a £19.99 a month offer soon. Cancelled my SS package through Virgin a year ago and survive on using my Dad's Sky Go on my laptop. We still get BT Sport and so it's not the end of the world at all. The only other thing I watched was golf

Mobile phones are a little different though. They are limited to that small increase. Any more than the RPI or CPI or whatever the more expensive one is and you can leave without penalty.

Fair sure Sky would be similarly restricted

Not prepared to hand over a large chunk of my hard earned cash to Sky cunts so I invested in an openbox. Get pretty much the whole sky package, sports, movies, documentaries, porn etc and BT sports too. Only downside is the sky channels are not HD but I can live with that. **** sky and **** the PL.

You can get porn on the Internet now.

How does the open box work? I have Sky HD at moment with the sports channels and the price is ridiculous. I've seen open box v8s on the likes of ebay etc but don't know much about it.
