I have to chose 1 or more Sports channels for a whole year?

I may be wrong but I think the sports channels are PPV. You can buy
stuff like a season ticket to prem+ though, but again wait for an
expert to verify what's what.

I take it that that means I cannot get SKY sports just for the football
season?
I am considering the advantage of moving from VM to SKY and so far cannot
see any. Ability to opt in and out of sports channels would have swung it.

You can.

I opt out of the sports channels during the summer most years with one
call, usually takes about 10 mins including the auto attendant and time
spent waiting.

The advantage with sky is that when you opt in/out it's done that day in
a previous life I was a NTheLl customer and changing packages with them
was much harder work.

You only need to subscribe to the Sports channel/s for a minimum of 1 month.

Advantages of satellite over cable? All the extra channels,
I have all the channels I need except perhaps national geographic

the interactive streams
Doesn't this involve paying via telephone bill?

faster boxes
I believe that VM do faster boxes now, although I haven't got one (

no issues due to the cabinet being set on fire,
Eh?

fuses blowing
Eh?

PSU falling over
Another eh?

other cable infrastructure issues
Such as?

It is nice to hear other people's experiences, but the only problem I have
had is with the slowness of the interactive and the temperamentallity of
the red button.
There doesn't seem to be much to change for here and there is the prospect
of having a fresh set of cables running in the opposite direction to the
ones already there.

far as I am aware the picture quality is better. The stuff like little
red buttons actually works, teletext etc. I can't say I am sad to see
the back of my old cable box.

If you`ve never been with sky then you have to serve a 12 month term. After
that you can do what you want as long as you give 30days notice.

Unless it`s changed since I was last with them.
