no ideas on saving money here then folks?

Almost certain the £50 Prem+ offer will be back before the start of the season. It has for the last couple of years.

To answer your previous question - no we didn't pay anything. When you take out a sky subscription you buy the satellite dish and the sky box. I think this card is due to run out at sometime and we will not be able to get ITV and some other channels without buying a freesat card (but I'm not sure of info on this, will wait to see what happens).

As far as the channels we get are concerned, I think they are the same as those listed on the freesat website https://www.freesatfromsky.co.uk

Hope this helps.

If anyone's interested in subscribing to NASN then I offer the following advice.

NASN subscription is £15 per month plus a £7 set-up fee.

However, if you are an existing Sky subscriber and then subscribe to Setanta Sports you get the following channels ALL for just £15:

Setanta Sports 1
Setanta Sports 2
Setanta Ireland
Rangers TV
Celtic TV
NASN
Racing World

If you apply for subscription online, they also waive the £7 set-up fee.

So in other words you can get one channel for £15 or 7, including that one, for £15!

Did you get out of the £10 'subscripton' charge for Sky+ too?

Might try that myself tomorrow. Thanks.

I threatened to cancel and got Sky+ box for £65. They said that's the offer they give people who compain about having to pay £65 to have their digibox repaired. Total package now £15 for channels and £10 for Sky+. But with free broadband, I'm still paying way less than I did last year...
