Welwyn 62 Posted March 7, 2017 Test Cricket is now the best thing on Sky. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldswindonsupporter 42 Posted March 7, 2017 The article refers to 18 shows throughout the summer and autumn including the play offs. That leaves 14 shows to be scheduled between the clubs, that could be weekly June July and August with 2 in May. Is the 18 more or less than Sky? If less, is there a financial impact arising?

Starman2006 2,356 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Currently have both , get BT sport free from my Virgin Media TV package . Think i 'm going to be cancelling Sky Sports But even if you have Virgin media, you will still have to pay a nominal fee for the pay BT channel. i asked BT the other day.. Edit , unless you have some other way of getting it.. Edited March 7, 2017 by Starman2006 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tellboy 3,670 Posted March 7, 2017 But even if you have Virgin media, you will still have to pay a nominal fee for the pay BT channel. i asked BT the other day.. Surely BT can't discuss anything that Virgin do and don't do.I had BT sports free with Virgin,but ditched Virgin in the end just didn't rate the service. May look into going to BT now,never been with them before and it does seem they are getting all of the best sports now ahead of Sky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Test Cricket is now the best thing on Sky.Agree. It's the only thing I would miss that's still on Sky Sports. From what I see apart from football BT Sport coverage is so much better. Rugby Union in particular is very good and I was impressed with the GP coverage.

But whoever you have you will still have to pay a nominal fee for the pay channel that carries champion league etc, then theres the posibillity of one month the speedway moved to BT 3 which you still have to pay for. I asked them, its there channel/s Iam a BT Broadband user and phone line user but also have the small sky package and sports untill july on a deal, then i will dump the sports.
