Sky Sports Or HD Package

[edition]

Hi there,


Just cancelled Virgin and am about too sign up with Sky.

Now I want the F1 coverage which you get with both the HD and Sports.

Just wondering what you guys have gone for and why.......


Thanks in advance!

HD pack. You can add & drop Sports as you like, as long as you have the minimum package.

Hi, I tried emailing you through your profile but it doesn't allow messaging. If you email me, I may be able to help.

I don't have Sports, but have HD & Movies. I'm thinking of binning them both, £10 a month for HD has lost it's appeal tbh, and after a few months of the movies, they just seem to be same ones repeating at the mo.

Like a previous poster said, you can select and drop sports/movies at will. If your only wanting it for the F1, i'd get the basic package and wait for the f1 season to start before getting sports, that is, unless they offer you it for free or at a massivly reduced price.

ooh i didnt realise it was coming to the HD pack too yay was dreading having to pay for sport when i only ever watch F1

i thought that if you had the HD pack and not sports pack you cant get sky sports HD? i have sports and HD but i dont get the HD movies with that, you have to get the movie pack.

it seems that they recognise that alot of people like F1 but no other sport so they are chucking it in for free. i pay for movies and HD but dont get any sport and thats the way i like it but im glad they are chucking in F1 HD

Go for the HD box/pack as its much better than the old sky box.

You pay £10 a month for HD but you also get £100 back in M&S vouchers. So Watch F1 and have an excellent meal for a tenner (which probably also costs £25).

I'm rather pleased I will get the F1 Channel (as a HD customer) and not have to pay for Sky Sports.

So F1 WONT actually cost anything if you have HD?

Best news I have heard all week!

I think this is the case...

Sky are going to launch a new channel exclusively for F1, named Sky Sports F1. This channel will be available for no extra charge if you are already a subscriber to HD or Sky Sports 1 & 2.

Jonathan, email sent back. Hopefully it won't get caught in your spam filter.

Just saw confirmation that this is the case, thought I'd be looking at another subscription channel
