Now have to subscribe to Sky sports to get F1

[Rick_1138]

We just changed our package to reduce monthly costs.

We went from variety bundle with legacy HD, to origin bundle but with HD.

I lost things like Eurosport and Disney XD etc but my SkyF1 still works!!!!

Happy days, saved money bu the legacy HD must still apply.

So gone from about £43pm to about £34, still get GoT and few other channels i like AND my F1.

Happy days.

Now just waiting for it to vanish

[Less and less so these days. The old "trick" used to be to phone them up and tell them you're cancelling all or some of your package and they would magically give you an offer for 6 months or whatever. But within the last year I've heard of several people (and myself included) where they have not magic'd up a retention offer and simply complied with the cancellation request.

When I cancelled, 18 months or so ago now they offered me a slightly better deal at the time, an even better deal 2 weeks later and an even better deal after a month. They continued to call me at least twice a month with various deals even though I didn't answer most of the calls. They finally stopped calling me about 3 months ago. I feel insulted

Were it not of dubious legality I would probably subscribe to a fairly reliable streaming website for £10 a month to get both Sky and BT sports channels

I had Sky for the F1 but cancelled it a few months ago as it was getting too expensive. I did ring to negotiate the price down but even their best offer was too much.

I have Now TV instead, you can buy a day pass to watch the F1 for £6.99 so I do that for the races that are not on C4.

Looks like Sky have moved the F1 channel and you need to subscribe to sports.

I've previously had it with the HD package for £10 a month (I think).

Legacy pack still working OK for me.
