Sky TV packages.
 
Can anyone tell me the best package from sky tv. I'm not interested in footy, rugby, athletics or movies Just motor sport:)

Also do you know if you can have a sender that will send the sky signal to a reciever so that you may view it at a location of your choice. Bedroom, lounge, kitchen, bog:D

Jon,

I have the most basic package that they do but that includes M&M for some bike shows and Eurosport, then add the Sky Sports Package, between that lot I get the NW200 / IOM TT / AMA / BSB / WSB / MotoGP as well as shedloads of car racing ....

If you don't need the abiilty to watch 2 different channels then yiu can geta wireless sender like I have in the flat and a couple of receivers, so now I have sky in the dining room and bedroom.

If you are coming over on the 14th with Rattler I'll show you.

We have all the channels and it's £41 :o

Been thinking about dropping the movies, but for £8 a month it's barely worth it.

As Dibble says, £33 a month I think ;)

;) I've just downgraded from 'Sky world package' at £41 a month to another package which is Sky Sports 1 & 3,Sky Movies 1,3,5,7 and 9 and everything else at £34 a month.
Still have 2 premium channels so get Sky+ for no extra subscription charge (£10 without 2 premium channels) and the Sky+ box is only £99.
I've also added multiroomn for £10 a month which is putting my old box in another room,so that that person can watch something different from me.
ACE,new charge is £44,but a much more flexible package for what i need.:lol:

So once you buy a Sky+ box @ £99... that's it?

No extra monthly cost?

I have the 'Sky world package' already :o

if you have the sky world package then you dont have to pay anymore for Sky + a month, its only if you dont have more than one premium channel thats it costs an extra £10, might aswell pay the lot at £41 and get the SKY+ subscription for free,

Well worth it escpecially if BSB and MOTO GP are on at the same sort of time, you can record one and watch the other!!

:saint:Exactly right,to get sky+ without the subscription all you need is 2 premium channels,mine's being done as we speak:D

Thx guys, I'm still no wiser. Dibbs we will chat over that beer and you can show me yours;)

Make sure whatever package you go for,you get Sky Sports Extra.Sometimes the sneaky b*****ds put the bikes on that channel when the other channels are showing live football,snooker,rugby,tennis,tiddlywinks,marbles, etc,etc......
I did'nt bother with the muti room cobblers.Most Sky boxes have an RF out socket,so all you need is a length of co-ax cable and run it to wherever you want.My house has already got tv sockets in most rooms,all I had to do was swap some leads around to make it work.
I watch Sky on my main tv through a scart and the rest of the house through the RF.
