  • Urgh Sky introducing their new 'European football' channel so they can charge us extra ££ a month I see. Bit a joke considering they're losing the Champions League rights and to my knowledge only adding the Dutch league.

    Sky and ITV don't lose the Champions League matches until the end of the 2015 season.

    And even those of us who couldn't give a toss about soccer get to pay for it too! Nice.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    They have also gained the rights to European Qualifiers (bar the England and select games). I do think that next year when it dawns on customers that effectively they are paying "more for less" there could be issues for Sky to address.

    Are you stating, by this, that the "Original" (formerly "Entertainment") pack/bundle will not be increasing in price?

    On the sky website the channel packages with this symbol (*)next to them will be increasing. I am 95% sure that the original bundle will not be increasing from £21.50 pm.
