Really thinking of getting rid, I watch Darts, Rugby League, Footy, Cricket but it's getting to expensive.

I've already decided to cancel once the season ends and my half price subscription offer ends. If Premier sports could get superleague I would rather pay their subscription (even if it doubled) although I don't know what effect it might have on the sport overall.

This is the problem when someone has a monopoly on the game. With them prices are too expensive and the rubbish spouted by the 'commentary team' is unbearable. However without them we wouldn't see anything other than our own clubs games and all clubs we struglle financially even more than they do now. Some may argue that sky makes it easy for fans to stay at home so they don't have to pay to go to games. I think they counter that by introducing the game to a lot of new people who will stumble on in by chance. At over £70 a month i reckon i would opt out

I got rid of sky earlier on in the year and bought a small desktop pc to link upto my tv

I subscribe to foxsoccer2go.com and overplay smart dns service it costs me around £15 per month and has all sky super league games and at least 2 nrl games live each week. each game they show is available on demand too. it also has champions league europa league amongst other stuff.


for rugby its the eddie and stevo etc commentating and usual nrl commentators

Can you get all the darts?

don't think darts is on there but will check

Won't allow it in my area, Hull

I'm assuming that's what his smart DNS is for.

Don't they look at the billing address of your credit card though ?

Excuse my ignorance but I have no clue what a smart DNS is....

It makes the internet think you are somewhere else.

Really? Clever or what! Wonder if it can be done on iPad

or stream the games..plenty of sites do good links..

I stream from a particular site, it's hit and miss however!

Any suggestions PM me please

Glad i got rid of sky a while ago just to much to pay these days so now i stream the games from a website and has all the Sky games, NRL games, Darts, Football and other sports.

I got rid of Sky in January and I haven't missed it a bit. My Netflix subscription covers my regular viewing and I watch any games I want to see at the pub or my dad's house. Murdoch can suck my balls.

I dumped Sky Sports and HD last year and am saving around £30 a month.

Like RG, I don't really miss it and I can get to see any televised games elsewhere if I want to.

Sky isn't expensive if you use it, I bet people spend more on beer, cigs and takeaways in a month than they do on Sky.

doubt they give it much thought as long as they're getting paid

Not so sure of that, they are not legally allowed to provide the service in the UK so if you have a UK billing address they might not be able to sell it to you.

That said I am sure there are ways around it with a bit of googling, Its peeked my interest so I'm going to have a look. My sky bill is already 65 a month and its annoying that a large chunk of that goes to namby pamby football millionaires.

Don't know why anyone pays full price for sky. I've had sky for about 6 six years now, and barring he initial 12 month contract I've probably paid about six months at full price. All it takes is quick phone call to them threaten to cancel cos you can't afford it. We're 2 months in to a 12 month half price deal, £27 for the full package without HD. A couple of years ago the bloke at sky even told us what to do after a deal had finished, pay one month at full price, and give them a ring back and say you can't afford it, and every time they've offered me a deal!

I was actually speaking to Sky earlier this week (I got another half price deal).

They told me that they couldn't confirm but for combined packages the prices may actually be reducing in reaction to the BT Sports stuff. That article may be a little misleading as the 10% is on the base package which is increasing by £2.

I pay less than £50 A month and thats for Sky Line Rental, phone pack with free eve and weekend calls. Sports, Movies and Entertainment Package, And HD.

I dont drink or smoke and the way I see it some people spend more than that on 1 night on the P!$$.

I wouldnt be without it.
