Rumour: Changes to Sky+HD Subscriptions from 1st October 2010

[The Realist]

Overview
At Sky, we’re constantly looking at ways to improve our customers’ TV experience to give them the best choice,
value and service and help them get the most out of their broadband and phone services. That commitment to
investing in new programmes, channels and technology means that sometimes we need to make an increase to
their monthly subscription. In September, we will be introducing new prices for our monthly subscriptions as
part of our annual price review. We will also be making a number of changes to our Sky Broadband services
without increasing our monthly subscription prices.
When
The price increase will happen from 1st September 2010, and we will start to inform our customers of these
changes in the August Sky Magazine which is due to land from 23rd July 2010. Any customers who do not receive
notification in the Sky Magazine will be notified either by email or letter by the end of August 2010.

May be usefull to someone.

Anything is possible as they are activating the USB on the Sky box for all Sky broadband customers. This is supposed to happen end of summer or autumn...

[deadman1984]

whats the usb for what can it be used for. as for the price changes well id rather have it with the 10 pound hd subscription than pay for espn that i ant gonna bother watching

[echrada]

Actually I got that wrong it is not the USB connection but the internet connection - ethernet connection?

Sky turns on set-top box internet connection - Telegraph

[deadman1984]

ay oh i see heh you know how sky uses dsl with our broadband do you think they will do away with that and use the dish instead for broadband like no longer use a telephone line cause i heard about the vod or voice on demand or somthing its called will that replace the copper line

[Alan b]

do you think they will do away with that and use the dish instead for broadband

No chance. The link above is about Sky's forthcoming Anytime+ service which is being delivered over broadband and is/has been discussed elsewhere on here.
