possible bargain for sky italia

j4vier

doing a bit of reading I came across this website

http://www.graficaemultimedia.com/

i saw that you can buy a prepaid 6 months sub to sky italia for 80euro, and a 12 months for 205euro

the
packages included are at your choice

2 channels packs( so 2 packages to choose from news,music,kids,lifestyle and tv series)


1 sky pack, either cinema, sports,or calcio

most programs are in double language,even for the movies
the only thing in italian would be the premier league

shipping works out at 30euro , I've contacted them via email and they told me that you just tell them what packages do you want via email and that's it so especially if you are inteterested in footie, 110e for 6 months is not bad
it states that the 6 months option is of limited availability

i never dealt with this crowd but if its true its great value

i know the summer break is in between but they are showing the copa america in july which should be good

if you need any help with the translation let me know

Very interesting. Will be keeping an eye on this.

Thanks for posting this info.

Is there any way to see what channels are available on each pack. Particularly interested in whats on the Sports pack (as opposed to the football pack, I couldn't give a stuff about football).

Also, is a Sky Italia box required, or if not, what type of CAM/slot would be needed for the card?

Minstrel27

Unsure as to how accurate this list is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_channels_on_Sky_Italia#Sports

I would like to know if ESPN America is part of the basic sports package on Sky Italia

go there to see the channels included in each pack
espn america is part of the sport pack

for some reason the sport pack is a bit misleading, as it shows including supercalcio which is part of the calcio pack

the sport part should have sky sport 1,2,3,extra,skysport24,espn america,eurosport
skysport coverage is really good for football even if you dont get calcio, as it showed the premier league games on sat at 1245, one 3pm and the one at 5pm, plus one game at 5pm on sunday and the monday night as well


Im not 100% on the type of receiver, i saw some shop selling a bundle of the card with a diablo cam, so i presume it will work

Any linux based reciever with oscam would read them i'd say..

Any ideas is that €30 p&p per card or order as i've a few mates interested in that offer and you could nearly get flights for €30 lol...

Just did a mock check out there you have to add tax to that i think

€205.00 (incluso 20 % I.V.A.)

Does that not mean that the 20% tax is included in the €205?

It sounds a bit too good to be true for me and usually if it looks too good to be true it is.:(

j4vier

this is their email

info@graficaemultimedia.com

i don't know if they speak english

tbh i think if you order more than 1 card, it cant be much more than 30,its already quite expensive as a shipping fee

it sounds too good because there are too many rip off merchants outside italy who charge huge fees

why not go straight to the source?

plus this is not the hd pack,that brings down the cost

Is sky itialia having problems with their english on the footy channels?

It sounds a bit too good to be true, But maybe im wrong.

In my experiance everything might be ok but if things go wrong whats their backup like, or will thay answer the phone?

Sky It don't have English Commentary on the EPL anymore, but i'd get over that at this price, theres always 5 live, talk sport, today fm or newstalk! :pac:

There is some serious offers around....

Maybe they have just dropped there prices!

Strange how the main sat dealers haven't budged though...

j4vier

that seems a reasonable price as well ,tbh the calcio pack over the summer is a bit wasted,as most of the channels would be unused,while the sports pack is fully operational and if there is some good football game on they surely show it there too

Been talking to a main supplier of Sky It to England today on msn...

Showed him the offer yesterday...

He said that he heard these would be switched off the 17th of July...

So truth or lies i don't know..

But thats the info he had about them!

Just spreading the word...

Minstrel27

I imagine most wouldnt be touching them until next season but it will be interesting to see if they do get switched off
