I justify Sky Sports to the wife on the basis that if I went to only one Premier League game each month it would probably cost me more than my Sky / BT Sport monthly outlay; taking into account ticket, travel, pie and drinks etc. And she gets access to a load of other channels if she wants.
Sky / BT Sport gives me the option to watch a lot more than one Premier League match plus other sports as well each month.
At the current subscription rates I agree that it does fall into the "luxury" pot. |

I've decided I'm sick of paying Sky £75 per month for channels I mainly don't watch. I'm looking for the basic channels plus Sky Sports and possibly BT Sport in HD without shelling out a lot of money. At the very least I could just cope with basic plus Sky Sports News if need be. Anyone got any ideas? |
Yes I have one buddy.
Do any of your good mates / close family have Sky Sports?
I've never had Sky, but my bezzie mate has it so I use his 'Sky Go' password to watch any live games I fancy full-screen on the laptop.
Or if Liverpool are playing, I make the effort of plugging the laptop into the TV and watch it on the big screen with a few beers and a bowl of crisps.

Try cancelling and see what they come back with. I have Sky Broadband unlimited for free, line rental and the Box Sets package which is everything except sport and movies for £35 per month.
I did have 50% of the TV package and cancelled when it was due to end. They offered 30% off and I said no. A couple of weeks later they came back with 60% off for a year and a couple of months ago they extended it for another year and it wasn't even due to end yet. |

I have Now TV - £7.99 pm (monthly rolling contract) with lots of channels. If I want to watch Sky Sports I can purchase a 'Day Pass' which gives me access to all Sky Sports Channels for 24 hours.
I guess it all depends on how much you want to watch - as I don't watch the Premiership and they only show Millwall when there is a blue moon, it doesn't cost me very much at all. _________________ Millwall league AWAYS wanted
45/6 Newport; Swansea; Leicester.
47/8 Coventry.
48/9 Newport.
49/0 Walsall; Exeter.
50/1 Port Vale.
51/2 Port Vale 1/5.
52/3 Swindon. |
