What's the cheapest deal you can get with Sky?
I've had Sky for a few years and am down to the entertainment package at around £30 per month, which is too much for how little I use it. I have some stuff recorded which I'd like to keep and/or watch. I'd like to keep the Sky Plus recording facility to be able to use across whatever channels I have, but maybe just go on…

Sky - Could I do better?
