[oj01]

@Paul+Rowlands Best place to see the content would be via the TV Guide on your box. Channels 401-408

402 Premier League Football

403 Other Football

404 Cricket

405 Golf

406 F1

407 & 408 Other sports such as Rugby Union, Rugby League, Darts

401 Main Event - Usually shows a simultaneous broadcast of one of the other channels.

I am surprised at how happy SKY are to make their customers and potential customers unhappy.  It is simply the wierdest business model.

Sky Sports is £25/m on an 18 month contract for 8 channels.

NowTV is £25/m for 11 channels but you only need to sign up for 3 months.  

BT TV Can give you  11 chanels for £20/m and you can add and delete the deal on a month by month basis.

Just respect your customers and offer them the best deal.  Sadly the brand is untrustworthy.

Thanks to SKY I am really enjoying my Sunday's outside with the highlights on Chanel 4 in the evening.  I am not missing Crofty's love affair with Hammilton either.

[Paul+Rowlands]

So basically go and find out what's on each channel for the month for myself.

That's not really selling the product, is it?

I wonder how likely a 2022 offer is for F1 only.

I've been holding off for years because the though of speding over £700 per year for a bit of telly and F1 doesn't seem like great value

Now I have a new 4k TV and Channel 4 coverage is still good but a bit haphazard in the scedules has got me thinking again

Do you thnk they will do F1 on it's own again in the future ?

Hi, Off the back of 18 months with full SKY Q incl multiroom/Sport/Cinema etc and a big price hike we have reverted to new entertainment bundle UHD and HD only. 

Last year there was a March offer of SKY Sports F1 for a rolling monthly £10 for 12 months. There is nothing about this in 2021 I can find.

Yes.  I have Sky Sports F1 as a single package without paying for any other sport.  Just contact Sky and ask them.

[Paul+Rowlands]

The problem is that F1 alone is only marginally cheaper than the full Sports package.

(Which is really the point of this thread.)

Which just illustrates the exorbitant price that Sky are charging for F1.  If the F1 TV Pro service were available in the UK, it would cost just £55 for the whole year.

It might cost £55, but could well be more. It's $80 in the USA, equivalent of €110 in Sweden and Denmark, but only $50 equivalent in Mexico.

Of course, as it's streamed, there's a degree of lag behind live, so that may not suit everyone. It's also not UHD, so definitely not HDR any time soon and isn't the most reliable, judging by feedback from users.

Hurray!! I will be back to Sky for the 2022 F1 Season! 

I had the Sky Signature with HD package on SkyQ, paying £26.60 a month - not due to expire till August. 
Wanted to see if on live chat they could better the £22 a month for complete sky sports package that's advertised on their website. 
Initially I was advised £22 was the best price, then went down to £18, then after speaking to a supervisor it went down to £14.40 a month with a new 18 month contract, taking total monthly fee to £41 a month. 

Very happy i'll get to watch some more footy whilst waiting for the F1 to restart in March. 

[Paul+Rowlands]

I'll probably give F1 a miss for a while; it's stopped being enjoyable to watch for me.

[RL11]

Stopped being enjoyable? - Best season ever 😲

I didn't pay for it last season as Sky never did a deal. Won't pay next season either if no deal. Not holding out much hope they will offer a deal though. I just watched the last few live with a NowTV £14.99 for a month of all sports

[Andre12]

I just hope they do have an offer this year. Would like the F1 channel but not going to pay £18 per month when full sports is a few pounds more. Was an even worse deal as several of the races including the finale were free to view anyway..... wouldn't have been happy if I was paying for something others got for free.

It was only the last race AFAIK.  And that's because CH4 and Sky agreed a deal - I would suspect they main reason for this was to try and encourage more subscribers by CH4 viewers seeing what they are missing... i.e. advertising...

[McGowan31]

It should be £10 a month and get double the viewing. Then sky as a company could charge more for advertising as more people will be watching! Someone at sky looking for a pay rise with daft ideas "let's just charge the customer more and more" what a terrible business plan

Well, two seasons ago it was on offer at £10 pm and last season it wasn't.

Pretty sure Sky will have added up the figures to see which they earned most from.
