Wish Sky would send me the same offer, been with them years, & nothing.

I left sky last year (it was 15 months ago) before they sent me 75% off by letter in post this week.

sadly these offers are selective, I dont know how they select people but I can say sky have never ever offered me one of these super deals, even from the retentions department.

You can get 75% off every year if you cancel your Sky package, wait a few weeks and just before it is due to be cancelled, they will offer you 75% off.

Yes but that's recurring hassle Alec. A simple online "turn it off/turn it on" option is far more appealing to me.

NowTV subs for "Entertainment" (AFAICT) are 74% cheaper than SkyTV anyway....

Thanks for the update.

The EPG for live TV isn't as good but that's not surprising given how much Sky have spent on the EPG. It may be that the NowTV branded version of the Roku3 has a better EPG but I dunno as I haven't seen a review of the NowTV box with the v3 hardware.

If I had more time I'd certainly be tempted by YouView.   Does anyone know what the EPG is like on their boxes?

We're in the process of saying "Screw you" to Sky TV.

Doing much the same here actually. We like the idea of no commitment so that you can turn it off & on as required.

YouView EPG is amazing! Back and forth 7 days, as well as your series links and HD. BT have YouView spot on in terms of live content, HD IPTV channels etc. Humax is the best box manufacturer, the TalkTalk Huawei ones are a load of rubbish to behonest, underpowered and software unstable. But it's manageable, if I had the money I'd but the new Humax box.

Will be a fair few more people wanting to say "screw you Sky" I reckon after the cynical price increase on line rental plus the way they've changed the call charging....
