Sky is making money-saving impossible
Can anyone help. We have been trying to remove some of our Sky+ Packages (e.g Sky Kids and Multiscreen) but the Sky website won't allow you to do it online. It says call the number.

Virgin Media Sports package
I have a Virgin media full package included in which is the Sky Sports and BT Sports options on TV. As there is currently no Sport due to Covid-19, I contend that Virgin are technically, although understandably in breach of contract for not supplying this.
