Cheapest Sky Package with all Sports Channels

Nalz

as the oul title suggests, I was wondering what is the cheapest sky package you can get with all sports channels.

Im aware you have to pay for premiershipplus seperately, but I was wondering what would be the cheapest Id have to pay for skysports 1,2,3 and Xtra? Would I still have to pay for UK gold, Challenge, Cartoon Network, UK style, sky one and the likes?

tbh Id be happy with just rte, bbc, sky news, premiership and skysports 1,2,3,Xtra.

I was in the same boat as yourself. Sky are cute if you want Sports 1, 2, 3 and extra you have to also pay for UK Gold and all the crap cannels before you can get the sports. I think it currently cost aapprox. €60 per month give or take one or two euro.:(

Sky News and BBC are free
RTE, TV3, TG4, Skyone, Sky2, Sky3, Paramount, Living, UK Gold, Hallmark etc is in the Variety pack. You need to pick one other of the remaining five packs:

* Music (not worth it as there is plenty of free Music)
* Kids (Cartoon/Boomerang etc, not worth it as BBC Ceebies, CBBC, POP, TinyPop and ITVs CITV are free)
* Lifestyle (UK food etc)
* Knowledge (Discovery, Nat Geo, Animal Planet, Jeremy Clarkson Channel and others, good value if you like that stuff)
* News (Bloomberg, CNBC all the other news SkyNews, BBC News, Euronews, CNN is free, those pay Sky channels free on other sats)

See the Sky web site: My recomendation is Variety + Knowledge + Sport.

All the BBC and ITV and M&M are free, but only Men&Motors, BBC1NI and BBC2NI on the EPG, all the other BBCs, BBC3, BBC4 , BBC Radios, ITV1 to 4 and UTV etc manually in "Other Channels"

Note that Sky list things in the "packs" that you infact get even without a subscription such as BBC, Sky News and CNN.

I got Sky a few wks ago. In the other channels section I only got UTV and ITV1 I think, but I do not have BBC3, BBC4 or ITV2,3,4
What should I do to get them.

I put UTV and ITV1 in myself,

What does this recomendation cost?

Main page for Ireland:
http://www.sky.com/portal/site/skycom/roi


2 packs + Sports1 + Sports2 + Sports Extra

€25.25 for 6 months introduction, €50.50 after.

If you order only one Sky Sport, you get no Sport Xtra and it costs
20.75 for 6 months then 41.50

I admit the Irish Sky pages are hard to find unless you guess to go to drop down list of websites on www.sky.co.uk

Note that you MUST select 2, 4 or 6 Entertainment packs for the price at bottom to update.
