Bt Vision Or Sky+

I've signed up to both, Sky+ is due to be installed next Sat, BT vision comes next Monday. I am going to cancel one, which one would you go for?

We have had Sky before and to be honest we didn't really watch alot of it, I liked the odd bit of sport and news but mostly it was spent flicking the vast majority of cr*p thats on there. We recorded stuff but then never watched it.

BT vision on the other hand is only £10 a month with free Setanta, also offers HD content,

I am unsure which to go for?

    I think you've answered your own question!
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right

    Neither am i, I'd watch it if it was there, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it if you know what I mean

    Bt visions ok, needs a freeview quailty aerial , as any freeview box , and as you are a newer customer you get the plug in senders that mean the box does not have to be in the same room as the Hub

    had one problem where the box stop recording but the hepldesk talked me through resetting it and it worked fine again

    Hi
    can i ask what channels you get with bt vision?

    at the moment i have sky+ and BB basic used to have full package but due to redundancy i am on lowest £16.50 (£21.50 next month)with kids pack so really have not got much to watch but having said that only watched sports(like cricket and football) before and rest just flicking like the OP!

    just wondering if its worth getting bt vision(im with bt line rental and calls) and BB or get BB from O2?

    thank you

    We've got Sky+ and I can't fault it, tbh.
    We cancelled the extra movies, sports, and kids channels we had, because we didn't watch them that much.
