How many subscribers do you think it will cost them? Makes me glad I'm with Virgin TV, but if I were still with Sky, they'd certainly lose my sub over this. They'll lose even more if they don't reduce the price of their sub to compensate for this loss! This post has been edited by vidcapper: 30th January 2017, 07:27 AM |

I read about this, and there is a price hike on Skytalk from March, which also includes the internet, my TV package is reduced 20p less... peanuts... what's the point.
I'm thinking of switching to Freeview, but I think I lose FOX and some other channels from my Original Bundle from Sky |

Sky Sports subscriptions were not reduced in price when they lost the Champions League so I can't see Sky reducing their subscriptions because of the loss of a few channels.

As much as I would love it to have a negative impact on Sky, I don't think they'll be that much difference.
