So if BT were charging £10 and are adding £5 that's £15 which surely is still £10 less than sky sports, result! or does anyone actually get sky sports for any other sport?
It's still not clear whether Sky customers (with Sky broadband) can watch the Champions League games in HD, if not then I'll only subscribe to the other stuff that is in HD when the new season starts.
So how much in total would the BT sports and internet package be?
Do you need a specific hub for 4k or will it work with a standard BT HD box?Free. £4/month for HD (and 4K).
£17 line rental+£12.40 for internet. You get BT Sport, unlimited 38Mbps fibre optic broadband and weekend calls. Plus a free £60 Sainsbury's gift card.
Ends 18th June

Don't worry give it a couple of years and they'll probably be on BT as wellThe NFL and Formula 1 are the other sports that I watch consistently on Sky Sports.
When I eventually sign up for BT it'll mainly be for mainly European football (domestic) and the NBA.

Dropping Sky Sports in October I think (when my current offer expires).
Lots of bitching from Sky Execs, claiming that BT have bought a dud as viewing figures plummeted for CL fixtures last season.
BT bit back saying 5+ million watched the final on ITV, only 650,000 on Sky.
That in itself shows who BT are robbing by taking all the coverage.... the ITV watching public.
Sky subscribers won't be particulary bothered as it's likely to just be an extra £5 to watch the BT games.
ITV viewers on the other hand need to take up BT broadband and TV in order to watch the games.
BT Sport don't offer enough for me to give them any money.
I don't really watch the CL games as it is, and as for US Sports, I tend to be sleeping when those are shown.
Internet will serve me well for anything I do want to watch.

No, they're not. At least 12 CL games will be broadcast free and at least 14 EL games.
I think 12 is more than the current number, no?
But how many of those 5+ million have BT broadband anyway though.Dropping Sky Sports in October I think (when my current offer expires).

I got rid of sky sports last summer just before BT sport started because £25 a month was daft just to watch maybe half a dozen Spurs games at most, I go to all the home games so its just the odd away game that I used to watch.
As a BT broadband customer its a bit of a no brainer for me, almost a win win alll the way, now if they could just they could get the T20 Blast for next season
Of course, those with BT Broadband already are outright winners and that's fair enough.
Personally I'm not convinced BT will have high enough viewing figures from their European coverage to maintain it being "free".
49 of the 50 most watch PL games last season were viewed on Sky.
3.1 million people watched Chelsea v United in October.
BT's highest figure, out of 38 games shown on BT, was 1.7 million for us against Chelsea.
Only two of Sky's CL games would have made it into the top 50, which does suggest that maybe BT have bought a dud.
