BT vision’s Sky Sports pricing has ushered in the next era of pay TV competition with its launch of the best deal in the UK for Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2, at only £16.99 per month. With BT Vision Sky Sports deals, consumers can add the sports channels for the per-month amount, on a monthly contract. For just £11.99, they can choose to add either Sky Sports 1 on its own, or Sky Sports 2.
The Sky Sports BT Vision pricing means that customers who commit to a broadband and call bundle on a 24-month contract can get a deal that is better still, starting at only £6.99 for ESPN, Sky Sports 1 and BT Vision’s ‘on demand’ sports channels. Alternatively, for £11.99, they get ESPN, Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2, as well as ‘on demand’ sports. The second deal is £205 less expensive than the equivalent Sky currently offers, and £281 less than a year’s worth of Virgin Media.
BT customers will be able to sign up for the Sky Sports BT Vision deals right away, well before the start of the next Premier League football season, due to kick-off on the 14th of August.

Sky and BT recently signed an agreement in which BT is set to receive a wholesale supply of Sky Sports on BT Vision. The deal will enable BT clients to sign up for the sports subscription channels in the beginning of July, and BT Vision clients can watch Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2 from the 1st of August, in plenty of time to enjoy the Premier League football season from its launch on the 14th of August. BT is due to announce its pricing for the popular sports channels soon.

Watch Sky Sports on BT Vision
According to BT Retail’s chief executive, Gavin Patterson, the company is pleased to have Sky Sports on BT Vision, as it means it can offer the two great sporting channels to its clients prior to the kick-off of the football season. Patterson is confident that BT’s customers will be eager to subscribe to Sky Sports on BT Vision.
This can only be good news for the consumer, with cheaper prices all round! We look forward to making a Sky Sports Pricing Comparison table for you shortly but there are Sky Sports packages on BT Vision from £6.99! Now that is a cheap Sky Sports offer than cannot be ignored, especially before the Premiership kicks off!

Now, new customers joining online and taking the Sky+ HD box- with or without the HD pack - will now receive free standard set-up (previously £30).
I personally recommend the HD pack though, otherwise you will not have many HD channels to watch!

Sky have made some changes to their setup costs when ordering or upgrading Sky.
These changes affect:
1. The setup costs for customers taking a Multiroom proposition
2. The setup costs for customers taking a Sky+ HD box
For Multiroom, in the majority of instances the setup costs have been increased from FREE to £15 (see below for specifics and exceptions)
For Sky+ HD, all setup costs will be reduced to FREE for new customers. This applies for both stand alone Sky+ HD boxes, and also when Sky+ HD is taken in any multiroom combination. It is also worth noting that FREE Sky+ HD setup is not conditional on packages taken, and therefore it supersedes the previous online offer of FREE setup with Sports and/or Movies! Cool.

Sky Setup Charges
Set up: Standard set-up for Sky+HD box is free for new customers, £60 for exisiting customers or £30 for existing customers taking Multiroom. Standard set-up for Sky+ box is £30 for new customers (£15 if you take Multiroom) or £60 for existing Sky TV customers. Standard set-up for a Sky box is £60 for new and existing customers. Standard set-up £117.45 without Sky TV. Non-standard set-up may cost extra. Sky Broadband set-up fees for existing Sky TV customers £60 for Base, £30 for Everyday & Connect or free for Unlimited.
I myself have just upgraded to Sky HD+, full review coming soon!
