People who signed up for BT sport SD & HD before August 1st last year got it free, from August this yr it will still be free in standard definition but £3 p/ in HD which works out to roughly 10 pence a day good value if you ask me
If you took/take your BB via Sky you will/would have to pay for BT sports and the additional HD charge to ? Did you think it was free last year as a Sky BB customer ?
Personally I got BT sports and HD free for the first year,but this second year , the BT sports is free but HD has s an optional charge of £3,I have declined the HD version for this season and will just take the BT Sports channel in SD
Most likely next season ,when BT start their CL and EL coverage ( cost BTaround 900 million) they will start charging for BT sports
Cos people moan when they don't get anything for free.
When it free HD last year why didn't people come on and say how great the offer was?
If you want BT Sport in HD, get it, if not, don't.
Simples
As a Sky customer you will have to pay for BT sports as well,the HD but the HD is an optional charge
I tried to call the freephone number yesterday to cancel HD for BT sport and save the £3 but I was on hold forever and gave up. May try again tomorrow,
I do find it appalling there is no way to cancel this online or by email. I always fear BT are going to con me when I call them - or sign me up for another 12 months when I don't want to.
Sorry - just too many bad experiences in the past where I have been basically lied to by their staff and their computerised billing system generates something totally different.

I got an email from BT on the 13/05/2014 confirming BT sports was free for next season but the HD version was chargeable at £3 from the 1st of August and giving me the above link to cancel the extra £3 charge if I didn't want the HD version

Do they offer them in HD, I didn't think they did, which was the question asked?
I think we will but also in October they are hiking the base sub up by £1.50 to £13.50
If you pay you comply. If the majority don't pay they'll DROP IT!
No they won't, for the same reason that Sky haven't dropped their HD charges. Because too many people (not me) are daft enough to pay!
That's not actually true. As Sky's HD sub now has subscription channels attached to it and the kickback ITV, Channel 5 etc get from Sky is based on the number of HD subscribers it's the easiest way to sort it out.
Why do you think Sky bent over backwards by paying the start up costs to get the 3 ITV HD channels up and running as quickly as possible? It was because they were finding it increasingly hard to justify the HD sub as an actual subscription to it's customers and as they say "don't look a gift horse ..." etc. etc.. End of problem.
