SKy TV renewal

[jim8flog]

If you do cancel you can still use the box as a free view I think.


I

That depends on what type of box you have

Sky+ the box is yours and you keep it
Sky Q the box is theirs and it has to be returned or else you get billed the cost of it.

Plenty of Sky + boxes out their to buy.

Sorry I’m a bit out of the loop. Folks are saying ‘renewal’ Is it just being used loosely or do Sky etc now offer fixed term subscription contracts?
i.e if not renewed, will viewing and the contract automatically cease at point of 'renewal', or will it simply continue (with no contractual end date) and subscription cost reverts to standard price?

 

[rudebhoy]

Well, I don't know, hence the question. ?

£60 a year for Sky Sports, Sky Movies, BT Sport, every other sports channel under the sun, and every live EPL/Championship/SPL game as well as movies and box sets - does it sound legal to you?

the latter.

went away with the grandson for an adventure weekend ( last week). a few of the guys were on about this one of them said “you do know it’s 2022”. £40 for the stick and £50 to load it. I honestly don’t know what it entails but there was only me that didn’t have one.

Youtube is full of videos showing how to load various apps onto a firestick. Bit tricky the first time but follow the videos and it is doable.

CCCAMBOX currently offering their iptv service for €3.99 a month.

Is this a standalone box or on the Firestick mate?

I have sky and IPTV. IPTV is for the matches that Sky don't show and the GAA and Irish channels. I pay £100 a year for two versions of it and while it isn't always 100% reliable I would say 95% of the time it works fine and they have a UK based Discord to get help or ask for solutions etc

Ha ha yes just read some reviews earlier ?

I ditched sky and use an iptv service on a Firestick for £60 a year

Don't you need an Amazon account for the firestick, they also seem to moving towards blocking sideloading. Plenty of other options available though ?

What are other peoples breakdowns?

Only have sky for the kids tv channels. Someone I know is paying £11 for skysignature and £1 for HD and Kids.

Looks like everyone seems to have their own little deals going on.

Wouldn't it be nice if this was not the case and they simply had a decent pricing structure in the first place? I know, I know, how naive of me , but the annual ring sky and haggle is a pain and shouldn't exist.

 

[chrisd]

I have Sky HD, sports, Netflix and all normal channels except movies and kids stuff, also internet and the free landline telephone calls for £82 pm

I wish I could just log into my account, select the channels I want and pay for them.

No, but if you can freely purchase it should it not have something done to stop it?

Go on the live chat, tell them you are leaving because you can't justify the cost. See what they offer you. Be prepared to say no thanks as they will "speak to their supervisor" and come back with a better offer. I'm currently paying £30 a month for Sky Sports and HD. Been with them forever, always threaten to leave when the contract is up, and always end up with a decent deal.

Are you able to just get Sky sports, i thought you had to sign up for signature as well

IPTV device itself isnt illegal, its the software and loading of the coverage they dont have licenses to that is the illegal part

Side Loading the software isn’t illegal.

Thanks for the replies.

To summarise:

1.A fire stick seems one good option although not legal.
2. The pricing structure with Sky is confusing.
3. It would be preferable if they let us choose as advocated by Lord T and Bob.
4. The annual renewal is a belly ache or similar description.
