Originally posted by kal View PostThere's a bunch of stuff on the Sci Fi, comedy and food channels, & loads of on demand box sets, plus iPlayer, 4OD and other catch up services, must admit the main selling point for me is the box sets/catchup and the ability to record stuff to watch later, I got 50% off for a 12 month contract so am only paying 16 quid a month for all of that (with free HD channels where available).
Plus 70 odd HD channels now, which perhaps normal people don't care about but I do. And F1. I think it's worth it as a luxury, and £33pm is not a big deal.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

The box-sets is a welcome addition however, though it seems silly the best part of Sky is not the satellite part
And VM - if they included F1 I'd be on it but you got in earlyOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

What's the catch? Diabolical service? Limited Internet access through a router they insist one uses?
Or is it being tied in with them for longer than two years, with a huge bill due in two years' time?
The ideas is to stop people defecting to bt when sky lose some major sports contracts in the next 12-18 months.
Some people say sky is crap, depends if you watch the car crash channels.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

who has time for Sky?I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment

I personally use Sky Go as I'm down here in the big smoke, I tried to cancel my Sky subscription on Friday as I pay £50-60 a month. I spoke to the cancellations team for an hour and ended up with a 2nd multi-room box (Sky+HD) at half price for 12 months and 20% off my entire sky bill for 8 months. All in all it was a bargain as I already have a 50% discounted multi-room subscription from the digital switchover the only reason I wanted to cancel was the fact that Mrs S wanted another Sky+ HD for the bedroom and they wanted £200.In Scooter we trustComment
