BT's coverage of RU & the premier league is the equal if not better than Sky's in my opinion.
Agreed, the quality in coverage is better than Sky on most criteria... proper commentary (as opposed to Sky's plethora of screaming banshees), erudite panel discussions, less adverts and even the picture quality is better, whether it be in SD or HD, as Sky channels are far too digitally compressed.
I like Aussie Rules, UFC and German soccer so it's ideal for me. As Sky were fleecing some of their customers for an extra £16.95 to watch tedious second-rate boxing at the weekend, I watched UFC 206 instead at no extra cost. The recent addition of all Aussie cricket is a very nice bonus too. The Ashes Series in less than 12 months time on BT Sport is another huge kick in Sky's goolies, as much as the loss of all Champions League soccer continues to be.
I've dumped Sky... don't need it... full of screaming, shouting and balling, intrusive ad's and I'm not Murdoch's biggest fan. Received a phone call from Sky last week offering me 75% discount off any package for 12 months which I turned down. Since the quality and entertainment levels in SL are so poor, I doubt I'll be tempted to re-subscribe in February either, even if that discount is still on the table.
If I want to watch the latest episode of GoT, Walking Dead or whatever, I don't want it serially interrupted by 20 minutes of ads, as is the case on Sky.
