Thread: SKY CHEAPER THAN SETANTA!!!!!

Just figured out the Ricky Hatton fight is on Sky box office for £19.95 and it's genuinely cheaper than setanta.

DON'T be fooled by this 3 Month bull s*** for £15 as I seen an advert for it in the Daily Mirror yesterday and in the small print at the bottom it includes a £7 connection fee and you have to remember to scrap the deal in the 4th month or they'll keep charging it for you.

So please don't be fooled like this like I nearly was as I've now ordered it on SBO for £19.95

Sorry My brother threw the paper out so can't scan it in but check for yourselves if you have yesterdays Mirror.

Happy Days

Mate theres no connection fee if you already have the facillites i.e Set top box, i have paid £15 and wont be paying anymore just have to cancel it with 30 days notice, in this package you get some football and probably somemore boxing and the build up to this fight is worth it, i rang them after i seen this post and they say you dont pay anything more than the £15.

that's just what it said in the small print of the mirror mate

If u ring up and do it over the phone there is no connection fee.

and wtf lol Sky are charging 20bux for the hatton PPV? ha what a joke.

Sky do take the piss £19.99 WTF!! The show doesn't even start till 0200am, so there is no fights planned in England? Before hand, and they expect people to pay £19.99.

Skel,

how do you get the station? Is it all done on the set top box? Can you cancel via the set top box? I dont want to call a call-center and work my way through the menu!

I think you need to ring in to be honest mate.


Also my mistake Sky does cover fights from the UK from 10 pm.

I feel its completely out-of-order that Sky Sports are charging £20!
Remember...we already subscribe to Sky Sports and they are asking us subscibers for a further £20?!

Now if a lot of people give them £20 to watch a big fight...that will become the norm.

You can buy the entire career of Hatton on dvd for £8 chaper than Sky are charging!

It's on Sky box office in the UK?

Thanks for the heads up on the 30-days notice thing for Setanta, I hadn't really paid attention to the small print and had put a reminder in my phone to call the day before the 3 months was up. I guess I'll be moving that 1 month back then. Anyhow, there aren't any fights on in Britain that night, but I'll be watching the card from the Point in Dublin, with Bernard Dunne v Reidar Walstad, who beat Dunne in the amateurs, so should be pretty interesting. Not sure if you can get RTE on sky, but if not it's on www.RTE.ie/sport, from about 9.30pm till gone midnight, so that'll keep my boxing appetite whetted.

Have you got a link where I can get the Hatton career dvd please? It would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Yes!!!!! Thank god it's on box office

Have u guys cosidered the other side of this setanta/sky debate....What type of coverage/analysis/Commentary will Setanta be offering I'm playin it safe an gettin Box Office!

u guys should consider getting a nokia dbox or a dreambox
no more pay per view

Phil forgive my ignorance..but....WHAT?!!!!

Do a little research on these, I picked up a dreambox 500c for 250euro, its basically a box that unscrambles every channel 4 u. I just pay 4 basic N tL and get everything, all the movies, sports, ppv, setanta, about 150 channels in all, theres loads going around Dublin at the moment but they work everywhere in Ireland and UK
