    @Hooroo yep, otherwise people have weeks and weeks to decide to cancel sports, whereas offer it for free, people will keep it, and once things back to normal, they dont need to re-connect, which plenty wont.

    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.

    this could well be the final nail!

    That's what we were offered which I just scoffed at.

    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.

    I tried to record a movie via the TV guide (website and app) and it won't allow me to do it. I have set to record on My Sky so hopefully that will work.

    @Bovidae Yes, now you mention it, it was the same when I recorded those movies in December.

    Yep, they save to your box ... not to a cloud etc.

    FYI -my Foxtel box once crapped itself with a bunch of games and movies on it and I lost them all.

    Is it possible to copy programmes from your Sky/Foxtel box to the hard drive on your PC/laptop?

    @Machpants That's a pity. My MySky box is almost full and I'll soon have to delete stuff if I want to record a movie.
