    Just got an email from Sky about pricing changes.

    Sky Starter up $1.08
    Sky Entertainment up $0.50
    Sky Sport up $2.09

    But the really interesting part is they are dropping the $9.99 HD charge from 1st April. That is excellent, but bullshit they charged for that previously. We don't have entertainment so that's a $6.82 drop to our monthly bill. They've also said they are increasing the number of channels coming through in HD.

    I've just signed up with Kayo sports in Australia and it is simply outstanding. $25.00 a month for what seems to be all foxtel sports which you can stream to up to 2 devices simultaneously. These devices can be at different IPs so I've gone halves with a mate. Not only can you watch the games live in HD but you can also watch them delayed and they also offered extended highlights videos.

    @Paekakboyz thing is, they have lost so many customers, it will take alot more to attract many of them back.

    Need Spark to reveal thier pricing for the RWC.

    On top of them playing both the cricket & netball world cup finals on Sky & the same CEO also announcing today some cash for the Silver Ferns, you've gotta say he's making a lot of the right moves. Fellett ended up treating Sky as his personal fiefdom, and expected his customers to stay anchored and be loyal for the sake of being loyal, rather than drive innovation himself.

    Programme Guide doesn't reflect the new reality.

    I guess it will all depend on content e.g. Live coverage of say South Africa v India - bring it on; re-runs of three year old episodes of The Cricket Show yeah/nah

    I sent them an email asking them to disconnect me and they came back offering me three months of Sky Sport for free, so I guess I'll stay on for now.

    You would get all 12 sports channels with Sky Sport Now but can't buy individual channels.

    Yeah was a joke, not that long ago I was paying 120? per month for that channel. That's all we used sky for, rugby 95% of the time. But with HD ticket and MySky so I could watch stuff delayed, rather expensive. All I want is rugby

    problem is, may be seen as too little too late for many...plenty of people 'hate' sky and feel they have been 'ripped off' for many years and are loathe to give any more money to them...I know, nose, face.

    For too long they have been a dinosaur blaming everyone else for thier declining numbers, without looking at thier platform, offerings or pricing.
