Karjala Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 we cancelled, watch all games either on a big dish at the pub, or via internet streams. Getting a dish installed in the garden this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for the advice! I think Art Sports showed more games this season, cos they added channels 5+6 to the card? I stand corrected like. Sky £40 a month x 12 months = £480 (and each year after) Dish Installed + Art Card = £350max (and £90 Art card each year after) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I know it's changing from ART to Showtime Arabia next season. I honestly can't believe folk pay to get SKY. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 How much is the Showtime Arabia card gonna be? And still able to pick it up on a 'big dish'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 How much is the Showtime Arabia card gonna be? And still able to pick it up on a 'big dish'? You'll need a whole new system as far as I'm aware. You'll also need to accomodate a 2m dish. It'll also work out a couple of hundred quid more expoensive for set up.

brummie Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I pay much more than 40 quid for Sky. I've got Sky+ and Multiroom, both of which are an extra 10 quid a month. It really is a fucking rip off. My uncle has one of the above mentioned dodgy dish setups and watches pretty much all our games on some Arabian or Chinese channel, which is probably more cost effective than Sky, and more convenient than waiting for some shitty P2P stream to stop buffering.

Teasy Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I pay much more than 40 quid for Sky. I've got Sky+ and Multiroom, both of which are an extra 10 quid a month. It really is a f****** rip off Sky Plus only costs £10 if you don't have at least two premium channels (Sky Sports 1/2, or two movies channels ect). Surely you must have at least two premium channels to be paying that kind of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 If you would want to watch on any foreign channels, I'd actually suggest Swedish channel plus. We get three or four different 3 o'clock saturday-kick offs and all the early, late, sunday and monday games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brazilianbob Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Don't you need planning permission to install a 2 metre dish in a UK garden? or are you all residing abroad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 That's already been cleared up. I currently pay the £43/month or whatever it is these days for the full thing, plus the £50/year for Prem Plus. Not bothered about paying it tbh, but i'm not happy about the Setanta bollocks next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 The confusion was, you used to have to pay 10 quid extra for Sky+, I didn't know that wasn't the case any more. Do they charge extra for HD? Yes, the Setanta thing is the worst, as we're now going to have yet another supplier to pony up the cash to. Not good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 aye £10 for HD no matter what channels youve got plus the £299 box Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 HD is £10 extra aye, that (and the cost of the box) is the reason I've not bothered yet due to lack of channels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidfieldGeneral Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Whilst on the subject of Sky, how much of a bloody con are the revamped movie channels ? Why the hell is a Premier+1 channel needed when the exact same films in the same order are on the normal Premier channel 7 days a week ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 i quite like the new movie channel naming system though. Easier to cut through the dross and find the stuff I want to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I think there's already a half-price deal on the HD box, saw something in Dixons about it. Still far too much though all in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 My old CRT 32 inch Panasonic w/s has been going strong for 6 years or so now, can't see any need to replace it in the near future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidfieldGeneral Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 i quite like the new movie channel naming system though. Easier to cut through the dross and find the stuff I want to watch. Personally I think it's a con. 2 movie channels showing the exact same films, 7 days a week. Some of the channels have gone from being on 24 hours a day to half that. Sky Cinema 1 & 2 have now gone and the shit that they used to screen is now being screened prime time across other channels. I theory, changing the channels to what they did was a good idea, but not with the rubbish that's on them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
