Sky and Bt sports


Recommended Posts

Sky in Germany last week announced they would be showing the Bundesliga and the 2nd division on Sky News for free !!! So far of course there hasn’t been a game played, but I wondered how those that had paid out for the subscription  channel would feel ? Would only be showing the ‘conference’ though, which is swapping around the games as the action happens

It was to help out so that people didn’t turn up at stadiums as happened last week with Mönchengladbach v Cologne when thousands turned up despite it being played behind closed doors

I would imagine there is a Claus in your contract that says refunds won't be paid even in unforseen circumstances

I read somewhere that when it comes to football for example, the matches are postponed and not cancelled so Sky claim no refund is due. Not sure where subscribers stand but it might be worth trying to cancel and look to renew in a few months when the position might be clearer. Who knows anymore. In unchartered territory now and no end in sight. I blame the Chinese but who is going to sue the Chinese Government. Oh well always 2021 to look forward to watching speedway.

When I took out a subscription for BT Sports last year  it included Premier League Football, WTA Tennis and British League Speedway . Now all gone but WWE Wrestling  is included but this is not a sport and should be on the Entertainment channel and not sports. It was on offer at £12.99 per month but now £17.99 for virtually no sports at all. Be interesting to see what they have to say tomorrow

Whilst I have both Sky and BT I will not cancel due to present crisis. Like everything else the lack of revenue will result in those employees who can least afford it suffering

I got a letter from Sky last week informing me that prices are going up. I can only think of one thing I've watched on Sky in the last three months (Ballers). I think it is definitely time to cancel.

Not doing themselves any favours with more and more of the stuff we watch going to BT. Mind you I rate BT as one of the most greedy avaricious outfits going

And when did Sky (the thread title) last have anything to do with speedway......

Agree, have no idea why the originator of the thread put SKY instead or Eurosport.

Still, as the deal with Eurosport for top flight league matches the thread is in the right place. (Shame the title is misleading!)

agree nothing what so ever to do with sky sports or though Eurosport comes of the sky platform which is supposed to show domestic speedway

As sky are not giving discounts or refunds why cant they as a goodwill gesture to those who are paying for the sports channels mostly for football give access to for example box sets especially so that those in Isolation have something to watch instead of daytime tv

Just read that Sky may let you suspend your account. Not sure how that would work though, if you wanted sky for the films, but did not want to pay for sports until live transmission can be resumed.
