We've had Sky TV in our house for a good few years now. We're currently paying £47.50 a month for all the channels, sky sports, music, movies the lot.

First off, is that paying over the odds or not? We've only got a basic box, no sky+ or HD channels. That seems like a lot of money to me, especially as it's all moving to sky plus and HD now, if we spoke to them could we cut that price a bit or is that the standard price?

My other question is how can you mix and match the channels you get? We only got it for the sports and movie channels really, very rarely watch anything else. Back when we signed up you had to have all the 'entertainment' channels as well before you could get sports and movies. Is that still the case or can you chop and change things better now?

Lastly, how does ESPN work? The whole reason for this re-think is that a lot of the guiness premiership rugby is going to be moving to espn with sky sports showing far fewer games next year, and this is the primary reason we have sky. Is it possible to get espn by itself or do you need 101 other packages as well?

I've had a look on the sky website but it's not that clear.

Thanks for any help.
 
You can get ESPN on freeview you know.


What's your current Sky package? Just Sports & Movies?
I've seen it on there actually but completely forgot about it. Just had a quick search and that's looking like £9.99 a month.

Current Sky package is everything I think, got all the movie, sport, kids, music, news, discovery channels and all the random ones that no-one will ever watch in a million years.
 

Is that true? That's saying that if you're more than 10" away from a 32" tv (which isn't really that far really) it doesn't matter what tv you have?? That's madness!
