I've got sport as extra only on one tv and the old box. My sons got sport,movies ,box sets , hd and a few other things including multi room and the q box. Will see what deal I can get and if I can get bt sports included which I pay for at the minute with bt broadband which I'm under contract with till mid April. Barmy you have to phone up for deals but that's the way it is I suppose. Virgin cables have just been laid down our road so another option I suppose I moved to Virgin last year got a good deal with BT sport included Edited February 21, 2018 by Booey boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wealdstone Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Have sky Q for TV and BT Broadband I pay extra to BT for Sport. Initially BT Sport was free for Bt Broadband customers but no more. Sky Q only requires one viewing card although I have two boxes yet BT charge extra even though they have to actually have to do something to prevent me getting sport on both boxes. They initially give you a special deal but through stealth increases this is soon eroded. In fact since my so called deal only a few months back my bill has risen by 50% They threaten dire penalties if I cancel before May 2019.

I wouldn’t want to be without Sky - but full price is not VFM. Time for the “I would like to leave calls”. From my experience, Sky also repair free - after using the same line.

My internet isn't erratic but it's way slower than it should be. My experience is that Virgin are better/cheaper than Sky. I've never had BT as my supplier so can't compare to them.

I think the Q boxes remain owned by Sky, similar to the Virgin deal - maybe it depends on if replacing your older box or starting new with them. I have had a few friends whose Virgin boxes have developed faults though which is really annoying when all your recordings are irrecoverable so free or not, that would be the biggest concern for me. Has anyone used the BT sport app? I've been offered this for £2.50 a month and it can be cast to the TV - seems a good deal to me.

I have pretty much every channel on my Sky Q subscription. I've just done a deal for my second year after the price rose from £40 in my first year to nearly £100! I rang them up and said "I want to leave" and I now pay £56 a month. That also includes multi room, movies, sports, HD etc. The only thing I don't have is BT sports.

OveFundinFan Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 My latest BT bill dated 5th Feb was £49, that includes a 2nd TV box, and broadband at 52mbs. I think there was a price rise for part of that so next month may be a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMcCaffery Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) I don't buy steak so that's pretty cheap. But I don't have steak.... It's your choice but you're missing out on a lot of speedway to add to what you watch live. Each to their own.

Stainlesssteelride Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) I'm only missing out if I feel i am missing out. And since I watch other sports for free i don't feel like I'm missing out on speedway in the slightest. Most speedway they show is boring rubbish anyway. The gp's are better, am I missing out?? No, cos they on you tube about 2 mins after they have finished. Edited February 23, 2018 by Stainlesssteelride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
