I'm going to get Freesat - but I do enjoy some content on Sky Sports.

Can you contact Sky and subscribe to that only?

I have never understood why they do not let movies and sports be
purchased as seperate packages. A lost commercial opportunity there.

A large percentage of those who take the film/sport packages have no
interest in the basic channels and would cancel them if they could.

Presumably Sky have calculated that the loss from this would be
greater than the gain to made from those who currently don't take
anything because they don't want the basic channels.

Cant agree more ......... I gave up my Sky 12 months ago as £42.00 per month
was in my opinion not good value for money. I only had Sky for the football,
yet, as we all do, had to subscribe to various other Channels to be able to
recieve Sky Sports. I didnt watch a single film on Sky in 6 years! As i have
no interest in films. Id be quite happy to be able to use the free to view
package and then pay a set amount (£5 - £10) to view a required football
match. I assume though that Sky have calculated all options and reckon they
would lose too much revenue by having that option available.

Well then that's your problem. Why were you paying for the film
channels if you didn't watch them? And don't say because you had to,
because you didn't have to.

For the sake of clarity, you don't have to subscribe to the movie
channels in order to subscribe to Sky Sports.

I cancelled my rarely-watched movie channels when Film4 went FTA. Only
saved me a couple of £ a month though so hardly worth cancelling.

That has never been the case.
