Ditching Sky Sports For The Summer?

Gambler

I've been thinking about this for a while now, ever since Sky lost games to Setanta. I have had sky sports for years now and the premplus £50 season ticket for about the last 5.

Last summer I tried to cancel but still keep sky+ for £10 per month as it was the World Cup.

Was offered 2 months for 66p in total !!

Anybody know the split of games for next year and how much Setanta charge.

Think I'm gonna cancel for the summer anyway (keep sky+ though).

I have seen it mentioned on other threads that skay are to waive the £10 sky+ fee from 01-07-2007. Don't know how true this is but worth asking when you ring up to change your package.

If I did cancel for a few months but wanted sports again when the prem starts would I then have to agree to new 12 month contract?

I think you just want to downgrade Gambler, not actually cancel altogether.

.....and miss WWE - no way!

I have just phoned Sky and got my complete package down from £43.50 a month to £30 for the next three months :T

That's a good few Summer beer tokens!! :beer:

sorry, yes I meant downgrade so I guess a new contract doesn't come into it.

Hey hey. Just my thoughts..

For those with Sky+ I believe there is a cost difference of £3 for downgrading

My maths is:

For those with sports and movies (joint) sky+ is free per month. Take them away and you're saving approx £13 a month but then you have to pay the £10 a month for Sky+!

If this is correct, then I won't bother downgrading.

Thats right, until July when nobody with any Sky package will be paying the £10 at all.

If I downgrade it will be from £37 down to £10.
