You can get a payment holiday on Sports ($31.99/month I think it is) until July 1. They aren't advertising it though. I just initiated it then with them through their 'Chat' facility as their call centre is not in operation until next week.
Yep, we've now taken a sport holiday and also burned one decoder. They were dicks about it, but to be fair, 10 days ago I made some suggestions re reduced fees, extra content etc and they didn't rise to the challenge so bye bye sports.
Yeah you actually lose sports, I thought it was a offer where you keep sports and watch replays and don't pay until July 1. It's not an offer at all, it's just a sports cancellation under their terms.

I thought that too initially. It's not really a special lock-down offer as it's something you can do at anytime isn't it? They're going to shed subscribers during this period like a sheepdog loses fur in the Sahara so you'd think they'd be a lot more flexible to keep people on the hook: much easier to offer something for less pro-actively and then get people paying again later, than to lose a subscriber completely and have to try and re-sign them. TBH if Food TV doesn't spin my wheels enough short-term, we may drop it altogether and then when sports start up again I'll just pay for the app and cast it.

That's the thing isn't it!! They are haemorrhaging customers and are doing nothing to help stem that. You would think they would offer sports for free while they don't have any live sports to show.

Sky has offered free access to the Movie channels, SoHo etc which would normally cost the customer, in lieu of no live sport. While some sports-minded people might not care for that type of entertainment Sky would needed to have made the free sports offer before these alternative deals.

That's no help to those who already pay for those services.

It appears that Sky have made tailor-made offers to each individual based on the channels you subscribe to. If you have the full package, I agree that a discount should be given.

@dogmeat Good to know the facts. Disappointing from Sky though.
I'm not sure they really understand their business. The new CEO Martin (stewart?) seems really good, but the organisation feels like it still has that arrogant monopoly mindset. It'll kill them if they aren't careful.

Not a Sky question, more of a Foxtel question, but I am guessing they are using the same technolongy. Here is Aus we now have access to every channel apart from movies. Will I still be able to view programmes that I have recorded/downloaded from channels I don't normally have access to after the free access period ends?
-
@Crazy-Horse Last year, Sky here in NZ unblocked all Movie Channels for a few weeks before Christmas. I recorded quite a few movies and I could still watch them after Christmas. So, assuming the technology is the same, you probably will be able to watch the programmes that you have recorded.
