bt sport overpriced

[howdy12]

bt sport is overpriced for sky customers it costs more than their own sky sports. but now i noticed they dont offer the month rolling contract its now a 18 month contract for £28 which costs more than last year. Anyone else notice this? if you pay for full sky sports package there should be a better deal for a combined package with sky sports and bt sports combined. bit of a rip off.

Sky may be restricted on what they can charge for bt sports, by bt sports so that may be reason that lower price for taking them both not available.

Bt sports are also in middle of a change of ownership so may affect current management on decision making

Didn't know they in middle of take over, wish they have a option to pay per view, say 4.99 per game, as my team only playing once this month on there.

Have you tried calling Sky to see if they will offer you a discount, if they do it will probably come with a 18 month contract.

That's typically down to how the PL engineered the match bundles into which they divided the fixture list before the last broadcast rights auction.  It was specifically designed so that no one bidder could secure all of a particular clubs matches.

no havnt contacted them, i normally add it in august then cancel in may to get june and july off. but now its not available on a month rolling contract its minimun 18 months contract.  but for 18 month contract and at £28 a month its not worth it for me anymore, should be a better discount if they want you to have a contract.

I bypass sky for BT sport's and subscribe directly through their BT sport's app with a Chromecast. It was about the same price as the sky rolling subscription. Also all the account management is online so you can cancel without the nonsense of having to call the sky call center to remove it.

[howdy12]

Still working out how to do that.

Chromecast are fairly easy to use - you will need an ultra Chromecast if you want 4k HDR otherwise a normal/standard Chromecast will also work. From the BT sport app, you will need to cast to your TV that you have plugged the Chromecast in via the HDMI port.

It works really well and easy to do.

BT Sport are doing the monthly pass for £25 - join and cancel online.

True but so are Sky,  and here's why..Why hasn't sky informed its customers that full match replays we're going to be replaced by inferior highlights?

and why do they constantly blurt out latest scores of matchesa and ruin my enjoyment of watching games myself, would they appreciate it if i poked my head out and blurted out the  plot and ending of a movie they were watching, would you,  why do they treat live football any differently?, would you be ok with someone ruining the plot of a film?, and then they have the absolute disgusting face, to shout about football being "ONLY LIVE ONCE"   <content remloved>  Well iv'e had enough i can spend my money where i like, <content removed>

Alot depends on what sports you watch. On BT I really only watch football so It's expensive for that. It'll be the first thing to go If i'm looking to reduce. Have to say some of the BT sport film series are very good though.
