    Which is the best option for a sport mad family. Currently they have UPC but not happy with the quality with basic digital package? I don't watch sports, so haven't a clue. Thought I'd ask here.

    Sky has full interactive service via red button for a lot of sport,UPC doesn't.A good example is Champions league coverage where you have a choice of 8 matches live on any given night.
    ESPN & ESPN America are now part of the sports package on Sky.

    Sky provide a superior tv package compared to UPC.

    Another option is Freesat and a Foreign Subscription package such as Tring or Al Jazeera Sport (have a look at the foreign satellite thread for info)
