I was thinking this earlier
I’m not signed up but there must be some sort of offer they have to come up with as it’s going to be either re runs for the next few months or they’re going to start covering Sunday league

There is actually a very long thread about this running on the SKY forum - as yet no body from SKY has posted on the thread
Somebody has already posted a comment from BT saying they will not be giving any refunds for BT sports or those that have signed up for sports via NOW TV.

As someone who mostly works from home already and doesn't have Sky Sports, welcome to my world everyone.

I used to work at home when there were only 4 channels on the TV so I know where you are coming from. Mind you I struggled to get much done when the world snooker champs were on.

This is not Sky’s fault and I wouldn’t be asking for a discount on my subscription because of this

But do Sky have a clause in their contract to recoup money back from the premier league, PGA tour etc. if they fail for any reason to provide a product?

I strongly suspect Sky/BT et al will be seeking some kind of redress from organisers/governing bodies if 'events' get cancelled rather than just postponed...
What's good for the goose....

It's alright. There was a great game of Rugby League on tonight.

I decided a long while back that I can live without Sky despite growing up with it.
Far too expensive when I would probably only find a few hours a week to watch and the rest of the family are already satisfied with a couple of streaming services.
I make do with the BBC coverage of the rugby league via their highlights show.
When they restructure more like a streaming service and get rid of the pointless need to have the box and dish I will probably reconsider.
Sky have less than 10 years to modernise or they likely face a very uncertain future.

I add Sky Sports to my deal when they offer me a discounted price. i did so back in February ready for the Florida Swing and The Masters! D'oh. Nothing much I can do about it.

That must be covered by the crowds under 500 clause.

It's business. Vast majority of Sky and BT customers will be on some kind of time based offer where you have a discount for 12 or 18 months, but can't cancel during that period. So I guess you have to get on with it.
the world of sport has a lot of people who are SE contractors, whether they are presenters, commentators, camera men, journalists, competitors. Of course a lot of the top stars and top executives who will be fine through this and take some down time etc. But for a LOT of people they will lose thousands in income and be on the breadline within a week or so, until this is over and beyond.
I'm sure the vast majority of football league clubs and Scottish league clubs will effectively run out of money within the next few weeks and many will go into administration or require a significant cash injection.
The same goes for the airline industry where thousands will lose their jobs / income and may never get back up to the same position again.
If all you can do is moan about your Sky subscription or your cancelled holiday then you are completely missing the point about how serious this is getting. And that's before anyone even contracts the virus or loses someone close to them.

I’m going to cancel today. I only got it as it was a cheap offer when I took out SkyQ and I only had to stick with it for 3months - only took it on as offer was so cheap and I could watch the majors - especially the Masters and The Open. Not interested in, and don’t watch, any football either.

Absolutely nailed what is actually important with where they country is today, and the terrible impact this could and will have on many individuals, families and businesses. I fear Samaritans might be busy ?

Tend to agree. I'm amazed Sky have not more aggressively moved away from the Dish and box technology. They must spend millions on this infrastructure a month, compared with investing that into a fibre or 5G network that customers could use.
They obviously made a decision a while ago that they weren't going to pay into the fibre network and as a result their broadband is rubbish.

Sky are piggybacking onto the openreach fibre network that's rolling out
