Sky complete bundle for £38 pm and then BT infinity with free BT Sport and free weekend calls for £27. £65 total per month.
I think that would work. How would you watch BT Sport though on the Sky box?

It seems that you pay £5 extra to get BT sport through the sky box. I have just been trying to do the same thing.
I did this as I have a second box in the bedroom:
Your selection
HD Pack
12 Months 50% off HD Pack
Sky Sports
Sky Movies
Family
12 Months 50% Off DTV
Sky+HD
You've added
Sky Go Extra
No charge with Multiscreen
Sky HD box
Yours at no extra cost
Sky Go
Sky Sports 5
= £49.12 plus £10 set up costs.
PLUS BT Broadband with Sport
BT Broadband Unlimited paying £5 extra to view on Sky and free HD upgrade = £26.99 per month including line rental (£75 Sainsburys Voucher and £6.95 set up fees)
OR
BT Infinity is £10 per month plus the £5 to view the BT Sport on the Sky Box in HD and then line rental = £31.99 per month with a (£125 Sainsburys Voucher and £41 set up fees  )
Total is £77 Normal BB or £82 pm Infinity to see all of the footy. 12m contract. BT are putting their line rental up by £1 a month soon.

Why the shock?
Sky go extra is "free" with the multi room anyway It sounds like a gimmick.

It's a piss take all of this. Nearly £1000 to watch football on TV.

I've just been looking at this too.
To watch the sports its becoming silly money now. I'm locked into Sky for a bit longer annoyingly.
Looks like BT are using the Footy to try and get everyone onto BT broadband - and to be honest it will work quite well. If I could I would be switching now as its worth while. At the moment its going to cost £20 a month to watch BT sport on sky.
Looks like I will have to stick to my dodgy streaming subscription which is £5pm at the moment.
Once my time to change comes I think virgin is the best value at the moment due to almost using BTSport as a bit of a loss-leader to get you on their packages

Virgin is really pricey. Had two rate increases in the last few months alone becuase of BT sport.
I still haven't done anything with mine.

Sky have had the same increases yet still doesn't cover BT Sport ie they have lost things like the champions league and are charging more. That's much more of a kick in the teeth

I think I will be phoning Virgin soon to get on a new deal. We only have phone and broadband, but only really use the broadband.

Davey how much are they? I'm currently giving an Android box with Kodi on a go. Could do with upgrading my broadband though so it streams HD content without buffering.

Is "loads" of HD not a bit of an exaggeration? BBC One, Two, Three, Four, ITV1, 4. Isn't much else is there?
