    the family pack will now be £21

    cheeky ploy though by grouping the channels, so to maintain a mix of progs you have to subscribe to all of them

    why couldnt they do packages that included a few channels from each group
    I was going to cancel this package, but after some problems ended up getting 3 months at half price, glad I did it now before it goes up. Think I probably will cancel though as it is rubbish for the price i pay now.

    Hmmm, I wonder if this change will affect NTL subscribers ? Im currently on the 3 for £30 which gives me the complete family pack except LiveTv ( Dont laugh, I used to watch it for the Aerobics program between 6am and 6:30am, saving myself gym subscription :D)

    This suits us nicely. We had the full package till recently, there was so much !!!!!! and repeats on that we changed down to the £19.50pm package. I've just looked through the mixes, and the majority of the channels we watch come into four packages. This takes us down to £18pm

    Nice one Sky, an unexpected price cut!

    Seriously though, I presume NTL buy these packages on a bundle. I wonder if I could cancel my package if they increased the overall cost ? (Must go find that contract)

    I don't have Sky yet love my footy, so you could always do what I do and go to the matches. Or if it's an away game and it's on Sky I go to the local pub. ;):)

    Snap! Actually the £15/month would probably suffice - so yes, nice one Sky, you 've really shot yourselves in the foot with this one and saved me £54/annum in the process . :D

    What do Sky class as a premium channel though ?

    Is Sky Sports 1,2,3 and Extra classed as one channel or 4 ?

    Bloomin cheek to do this IMHO.
