Joining Sky TV

tommy2k8

I want to join Sky TV as I had it through TopUpTV and I want to continue to get it, but I love IndyCar and Nascar and ESPN have the rights for them. ESPN will cease to be on TopUpTV from August - can I haggle with Sky for a good deal, and if so, whats the best thing to say?

I don't know but I'd advise NOT admitting "I love IndyCar and Nascar".
TV is not an essential part of living; BskyB runs a business whose purpose is to maximise profits. They might well offer you a "sweetener" to get you hooked but, after the 6 months is up, you'll be paying the full amount (with annual increases to look forward to). I'd advise not getting addicted in the first place. It's really not in the spirit of "money saving".

ESPN from the end of this month is part of BT Sports and only available from them - on BT Vision, satellite with a Sky box or online - see here http://www.bt.com/sport/3-ways-to-watch-bt-sport.html?s_cid=con_ppc_maxus_vidSP4_T1&vendorid=SP4&gclid=CMWuxOmwt7gCFRMgtAodnQwAiw

I contacted sky but they wont do there free home move because the post code isnt registered what can I do?
The building has 8 flats in and a couple of them have sky tv.I am moving across the road from the basement flat I live in and booked a home move.Sky phoned me back saying they cant do it because flat number 5 is not registered with royal mail but all the other flats are.So I spoke to the landlord in person and she said that 5 flat is registered so I phoned sky and they did checks and they said the same they cant install there equipment because the post code is not registered.Odd thing is the building has a couple of Sky dishes on the front! There is a BT phone line in my flat.If the flat was not registered we I wouldnt have to had set my council tax and housing benefit up on the flat plu I wouldnt be able to move in.What can I do? Even if I try a different company I get the same answer as sky have said.Whats going,what can I do so I can tv,phone line and internet in my new flat?? Im getting very annoyed with it.

True, I suppose it would be more cost-efficient to:

1. Watch the Indycar and Nascar races via Youtube or somewhere else.
2. As I love Darts, subscribe to pdc.tv, which is only £25 a year.

But then, my next door neighbours love football, I like rugby
