I was offered £12 sports and £21 Signature so they love you more than me!

Joking aside, isn't it an awful way to run a company.
Offering different prices to different customers depending on who you speak to.

Being cut off in 2 weeks, and received the following ‘transfer deadline day’ offer via email today. 

Sky sports 12
sky signature 17

for 18 months. Check your emails people. What do you think?

Cancelled in December and not missed it.
Got exactly the same offer. £12 for sports sounds good,but it isn't just £12 is it.
It's £29 for sports and and some box sets.
It's daft that you are forced to take sky signature before adding anything else.
Any sky programmes i want i just sign up now tv for a month or 2 and can cancel whenever.

I looked into IPTV but it seems a bit dodgy. The fact you are purchasing your TV package from Facebook Marketplace probably says it all.

Here is an interesting quote i found online from uSave who are probably unbiassed.

IPTV is perfectly legal when the package purchased has permission from the copyright holder. Technically, all forms of catch-up TV are IPTV.

However, this changes when the boxes are set up in a way that allows them access to channels they shouldn't be able to. This is done with specialist software, providing a gateway to websites that illegally take advantage of channels being broadcast.

One of the challenges for the law is that the actual boxes used to access illegal content are often legal themselves.

If you are being sold all the sports and movie channels for £5 a month i would very much doubt that they have permission from the copyright holder to do this........

Please let me know if anybody knows better.

Of course it's illegal! 

If Sky just had flat subscription rates across the board like Netflix or Prime then maybe a lot more people would come back and accept a certain cost. Add ons like Sport, Movies at a reasonable and fair cost and not different costs for every person that call. When you see adverts with Sky Sports £32 slashed to £12 why not just make it £12 for everyone.

The usual places you can source illegal digital content would be my guess... Facebook, eBay, friends, referrals...

I was offered a hacked Firestick locally this morning - all channels for £60pa paid upfront - however, I read that anti piracy organisations are closing the stream suppliers down at a rate of knots !!

Getting the topic back on track, just had a call from Sky and they offered me free Sky Q box, Signature HD and Sports HD for £37.  Said no thanks and he came back with £31 and no admin fee.  Tempted with it, but might wait it out for a bit longer as current package has 3 more weeks before it stops.
