    Sky sports

    Sky sports , increased by £3.25 a month. Is it because of the tv deal?

    It will be due to the new premiership deal they have

    I wouldn't give them a penny. They take too much money out of Scotland and give us back peanuts. Got rid of Sky as there are plenty good links nowadays to watch fitba.

    Aye, but there is also a sports world without fitba.

    I've just got rid of my sky subscription after about 12 years. changed over to virgin, who have given me multi room and a 1TB TiVo box in the living room (SKY box hdd was only 80GB) increased my net speed from 30mb to 100mb and I'm still better off each month.

    So far I have to say I'm pretty impressed with the virgin on demand service.

    No it's because they have a virtual monopoly and most of their client base (despite the recession) will just go along with it and pay the bills.

    I don't have Sky Sports and I wouldn't be inclined to take the service no matter how cheap they made it.

    I was offered half price sports for a year to stay with them but turned them down.

    Couldn't agree more. Continued over-exposure of football on TV is killing the game as a spectator sport particularly at the level that the Scottish game is at just now.

    Dodgy stream or big screen HD coverage of Fitba. Cricket , Speedway, NFL and more. Far too much for me to ever give it up. Actually I rarely watch Fitba on Sky, prefer that live.
