    Hi I have the family pack and it's 30 euros a month.I rang sky today to add sky sports to that and was told it would be 90 euro.Do they try trick you or what?
    I eventually got sky sports 1 only for an extra 30 euros.I'm a long time customer of theirs but i'm having ssecond thoughts.
    Anywone know what my package total should be?I mean before you'd get all 3 sky sports channels for less than 30 euros.

    Hope someone can clear this up for me please. god.....

    That doesn't sound right. Check the prices here

    Edit: Have you multiroom and/or HD?

    Im a bit confused too. There was a "family pack" at one time I think but nowadays its all individual packs. The nearest I can see that suits what you were paying (€30) is either the 5 packs @ €29.50 or the 6 packs @ €31.50. Adding the sports channels to either will increase your monthly payments by €31.50.

    Its unusual and not recommended to have 1 sports channel only for €30 when you can have 3 sports channels (Sports 1, 2 and 3) for an extra €1.50.

    You say you have a "Sky+ box and 1 box only" - is that 1 box in total or 2? if its 2 are you on a multiroom sub?

    Have you got the ESPN channels included with the sports pack that you have now subscribed to?

    Id suggest you ring them again and have the pricing list in front of you (which is the current prices btw) and ask them to explain how its costing you so much money and then point out what you see in the pricing list. There's something wrong somewhere

    Definately not right. I have Knowledge, Variety, all Sky Sports, ESPN and HD for less than that.

    For €90 you could have the complete package and HD...and that only costs €86.25 per month.

    For "Family Pack" (which i presume is all 6 entertainment) and SS1 should be €47 a month. or €63 with all sports.
