Likewise - my broadband is not fast enough for iplayer so would not support TV. If it's a case of paying for extra channels via SKY, if that's the only way, then I guess that's what I'll have to do

We have just signed up to BT sport and we have managed to get it for free.

To get it free we had to sign up to a 1 year deal, this deal will be repeated as long as we have the following.

BT supplied broadband or fibre optic broadband. (Our broadband is only 6meg so no chance of seeing it online)

SKY HD satellite package.( or Bt TV box)

As long as you broadband is via BT, you can get it for free, otherwise I think it was £15 a year

I already have Sky Fibre, and am currently in my contract period.

The BT fibre equivalent is more expensive, so it would cost me more to switch, so effectively I'd be paying for the channel.

I am hoping that Eurosport will be showing delayed coverage again, otherwise it's another fan that MotoGP will lose.

I'm on Sky for everything - and our broadband is too slow anyway - so it's either going to be a pay channel, or hope that Eurosport get to show it delayed... or more likely I'll end up stop watching at all...

How much would it cost you to go to BT for broadband and phone and keep sky for tv??

Probably not a huge difference - Sky broadband is not cheap - might even be cheaper.....

And one thing with BT, like many other companies, never go with the first price they say, I found by shopping around, then going back to them saying that company X will do it cheaper normaly gets it cheaper
