I'm breaking a habit and actually thinking of paying (shock, horror) for some alternative TV.
I have both Freesat and Freeview at present, served into 9 year old Samsung smart TV. (NOW TV is not supported on this age of Samsung).
I'm looking at the basic SKY Entertainment package plus Multiroom +, which will give me a mini box for our bedroom Samsung none-smart TV (Freeview only and breaking up in rainy weather due to the long cable run, I think) and HD on SKY's own Channels. Cost is £37 monthly pus a £40 one off fee.
Is it worth it?

I guess only you can say. Depends on what you like to watch and how long you spend watching TV.

He wants 7x24 fox news.

and are you sure that 9 year old Samsung smart TV is Full HD anyway?
The only good thing about ageing is, as the cataracts kick in, 720p pictures become almost tolerable :)
Why not buy a Firestick for additional rubbish, providing your Internet speed is upto it.

Well, I'm a mid-fielder.

Won't one of the Now tv boxes that plug in work?
|
Our Sky package is going.
It is rising after 3 years from £36 to £59 per month.
I will miss the Q box though as I don't think there is anything similar on the market?
|
Last year I was paying SKY £110 for TV/Phone & BB, they bumped it to £126.
I phoned and cancelled which did not meet with approval of SWMBO. 31 days notice
2 weeks later they phoned me and we settled on £66.99 - I gave up Cinema (£11)
Essentials, SkySports, UHD, mini box in bedroom.
A son pays less than me but he had the nerve to sit without any SKY for 4/5 weeks - he pays £50 inc Skysports, UHD mini box & Fibre BB
|
I have Sky Q +multiroom & a 2TB box. The multiroom is great. no co-ax cables running all over the place. Skytalk includes calls to mobiles. Broadband & line rental + Skysport.
The bad part is it costs £98 a month. Probably a lot cheaper to new subscribers
|
Maltrap - that is what I have for £67!
When contract expires phone up & cancel - 31 days notice - they will call you in 10-20 days -
£67 is better than the option of £0 if you go elsewhere

Not necessarily. We moved house in Aug and can't get Virgin here. Signed up to Sky for £110pm for everything in 3 rooms.

I think my mate pays something like that, but gets broadband and mobile as well.
|
Sky are probably aware that you can't get Virgin in your area.

I don't understand these these high prices you are all paying. We've had Sky HD with Sports and some sort of general package for maybe 10 years+. Each time it comes up for renewal I haggle - just renewed and currently paying £42 pm.
