Sky Sports

[tiggerblue10]

If I wanted to get Sky Sports for a family member to watch on SkyGo, would I be able to do this and then remove it when the football season is over? Thought I'd ask here before contacting Sky.

I’d imagine you’d have to take a year’s contract minimum.
Can you just have sky go without a dish? You didn’t used to.
If I’ve understood correctly.

Sky Go lets you watch Sky on your PC, tablet or phone so you don't need a Sky dish, ich.

Tigger, your relative might be better off with Now TV which gives access to Sky Sports on a rolling monthly contract

I'm not sure how it works tbh, Ich. The family member who is asking lives miles away and can access my Sky through their XBox.

[ichkeria]

No you don’t need a dish to actually use it it course: it’s a streaming service: what I meant was I don’t think you can have it unless you are a sky customer with a dish.
But I don’t fully understand what the OP wants

[barry1010]

If they are already accessing your Sky then there should be no problem with them accessing your subscription to Sky Sports. It will cost you £25 a month and is a 12-month contract but speak to Sky and see if you can get a deal.

Ich, the OP wants a family member who does not live with her to be able to watch Sky Sports through her subscription - so the family member watches it for free.

[ichkeria]

Yes Now TV is an option.
However, I think tigger wants to subscribe to Sky sports and then let someone else use Sky go to access it.
Strictly speaking Sky don’t like you doing that: but whether they could stop you I’m not sure. You are limited to I think it’s four devices. Not sure how clever they how are at spotting where people are letting non subscribers use the service

[tiggerblue10]

They checked the cost of adding Sky Sports and it was £18 which they will pay me for each month.

[ichkeria]

Do you have sky go already?

[barry1010]

The limit is six devices.

[barry1010]

tigger, I think £18 is for new customers - you must check how much Sky will charge you

[tiggerblue10]

Yes, I Ich. I recently renewed my subscription and upgraded to SkyQ with SkyGo.

[barry1010]

Just checked and it is £18 for football only

[tiggerblue10]

They just want to watch premiership games.

Thanks Barry, that's really helpful :o)

When I want to watch the IPL, I sign on to the Sky Cricket channel. Then, as long as I give 31 days notice, I can cancel it. So I only put it on for as long as I want. Am thinking of doing this when the tournament returns and keeping it for the 20/20 World Cup. I always say I only want it for a specific tournament and it is put on for the year, with the 31 day cancellation clause. I am a long term Sky customer and have a basic package, so this is only a top up. I always do it by phone and, despite their dire warnings of long delays, always get through quite quickly. I always find them very helpful, so good luck tigger.

Thanks Margaret and Ich :o)
