Ok - we get Sky Sports 1&3. But unfortunately, a number of matches are broadcasted on the other channels. It really peeved me during the Eng-Pak series.

Can anyone offer any tips to get Sky to gimmie the other channels for free ? Blagging tips much appreciated.

If you ring up at the beginning of the week and ASK them if you can cancel your sky sports package they will haggle with you and might even offer the full package at half price for 3 months or something along those lines. Has happened to people I know.

Remember to ASK them if you can cancel....do not say ' I want to cancel'. Say 'Can I cancel?'.

Phone them up and say that you'd like to cancel sky sports. When they ask you why, say it's because you never really watch it. You only like to watch cricket but even that's not worth it because you often miss stuff when it's shown on SKy Sports 2. Say you want to leave.

They'll make you some offer or other, they usually do. If they dont then give your 30 day notice and cancel the notice later.

Oh yeah, take the bag off your head when you call them. It might help you talk more clearly

Exactly the same. When i rang them to change from 3 to 2 they said u cant change back for 30 days then and then the next day the match was back on 3! So i missed the 20/20 and a couple of test days. Damn sky :12:

It's only £2 to to £3 difference if you subscribe to the whole bunch of sky sports channel compared to just 2 channels. Sky Sports 4 is also opening end of this year or early to mid 2007.
