Getintaethem Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Moving house soon and have cancelled my virgin tv package. Was looking for the best deals. I like having the sky sports channels, but also want BT sport and Sky Atlantic. Not really interested in having a landline but want broad band. Am I right in saying: I can only get sky Atlantic on sky tv? I can't get BT sport on sky tv? I can only get SS1 & SS2 with BT tv? Also, BT sport used to be on freeview, is it still available on freeview? Seems like I can't get what I want with one provider, will I have to take sky tv and BT broadband to get the channels I want? Any help would be appreciated as I got bored trying to explain this to Rohit at Sky customer services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartsfc_fan Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 This is what I have: BT Broadband. Gets you BT Sport and Espn for free. (Around ?20 p/m for regular package includes land line, or ?31 p/m for fibre) Freeview. NowTV box with Sky Entertainment package. The box uses your wifi signal (?6.99 a month on a 30 day rolling contract - you get Sky Atlantic, Sky 1, Sky Living, Sky Arts, Gold, Comedy Central, Fox, MTV, Discovery Channel and Disney Channel). Also includes catch up TV - So BBC iPlayer etc. Paying less than ?40 p/m for the above and don't need a satellite dish stuck on the side of my house. Can't really complain. Don't have Sky Sports, but can usually find a stream of a match online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weststand93 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Went from sky to Virgin. I'd say get virgin Internet it's the best around. But get sky tv if you can. I find virgin tv very slow there box that is. sky tv is very simple and easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartsfc_fan Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thanks guys, I'm thinking sky tv and BT broadband which would give me free BT sports. Yep. It gets you access to their webpage and app to watch the live channels. So basically you have the option to watch it on a laptop/PC. Or I've downloaded the app on my mobile, means I can watch matches on the go (but like sky go I guess). Also got the app on my tablet too. I might also buy a Google Chromecast so I can beam the match from my tablet to TV. Here is a Chromecast incase you were wondering: http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/chrome/devices/chromecast/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
