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

    With sky+? How do you manage that then? I know sky+ is no longer costing a tenner but that's after 1/7/07... surely in the meantime it will be £10 + cost of most basic package?

    £10 for the sky+ function, I don't want any of the sky channels.

    I added Sky Sports for the cricket (I know, it wasn't very exciting). I've cancelled it now and kept the basic package for £15.00. I'll add Sky Sports again when the football starts. You can change your package once a month.
    :cool2: if a fly falls in your drink. pick it out, lick it then chuck it. every little helps :beer:

    Am thinking about phoning Sky up as I'm currently on full package which I hardly use. Only thing I am worried about is that I took out Sky Broadband with them last December and I'm pretty sure they made me sign a new 12 month contract. I therefore cannot threaten to cancel can I?

    You're not talking about cancelling though are you - only amending your channels package. You can change them once a month I believe IIRC.

    With setanta sports package, I get all setanta channels plus racing UK and racing world.

    Not as much value at this time of year (apart from some horse racing). But most of that is broadcast on channel 4 at weekends anyway...

    I enjoy Setanta due to it broadcasting SPL games. The only reason I have kept it is because it only cost me £10 per month through promotion.

    If you are interested, the promotion is on the first scotrail website. Sign up for FREE to scotrail 'advance' and receive great discounts on tickets and other promotions...

    (if you want a look).;)
    Keep smiling...:rotfl:

    I phoned sky today to complain about their archaic billing (but thats another boring story !)
    I have been offered a free Sky + Refurbished box and free fitting and no monthly Sky + fee.
    WHOOOOSHHHHHHHHH……..

    That was your life mate
    Oh I wasn’t quite ready can I have another go ?
    Sorry mate only one per person.
