How can I reduce subscription?
 

I've been a subscriber to Sky for quite a while now and have
just received a letter stating that my monthly subscription charge
will be rising to £40 per month. With pay for films/sport will
see my monthly costs going to around £70 per month.
I have asked Sky if I can reduce this amount somehow to
which they recommended reducing the channels - Sport
and films which we use often. Anyone got any ideas on this
subjects.
Thanks
Steve

Take a look at http://www.sky.com/skycom/allpackages and see which
packages best fit in with your budget. I don't think price changes are
reflected on that page yet though, but add a couple of quid to each and
you'll be safe.

Don't be misled where it says 'Sky Movies 1' and 'Sky Movies 2'. The
former actually refers to Sky Movies 1,3,5,7,9 and the latter 2,4,6,8.

Click the prices for the full line-up.

£70 a month is quite a lot but I suppose everything is relative:)
I assume you have mirror subscriptions which would account for
the sub above the standard £40 SKYworld price.

You should break down the costs to channel packages and other
SKY services and then see which you are prepared to lose in return
for a lower monthly cost.
If you use SBO a lot then drop the movie packages for a few months
at a time, if you are a footy fan the drop the sports for a couple of months
over the summer.

I have never understood why people spend good money on PPV items that
will be shown on the regular film channels just a couple of months
later.

I know what you mean - I've never understood why people buy shows on
video, then buy the same thing on DVD several months later.

I don't understand people buying VHS recordings at all, even the cheapest
DVD players on the market £30 will give a much better picture.

I know what you mean, why pay for the film channels when they will be on the
free terrestrial ones within a year or so.

Indeed why pay for anything when you can borrow your mates and copy them.

Its your choice, pay or not as you wish.

I could never see the point of doing this either, especially when the
pay channels weren't even widescreen. Now that they sometimes
broadcast in the original cinema aspect and in DD 5.1 (of which the
free channels do neither yet) I can see much more point in paying.
