As far as I'm aware, nobody has got the TalkTalk deal yet. Even though they announced their package details all those weeks ago, they're still not available to the public.

BT obviously didn't see the point in putting their info out there when it's not yet available so I imagine they'll unveil theirs just ahead of the full rollout. Expect it in the Autumn to go along with the major YouView pre-Christmas marketing push...

On top of £21 p/m for a entertainment pack so it's £42 a month on sky.

This is my analysis of monthly costs, excluding introductory offers and installation, open to correction and am unsure about VM phonesaver on Classic package.

All Sky Sports Channels

Via Sky: £21 Must have a Sky Entertainment package costing £21.50 & £14.50 line rental = £57.00. Line rental could be with another provider, if line rental with BT and paid in advance total monthly cost reduces to £53.25. Poorer broadband than VM but better range of TV channels.

Via Virgin Media: £25.75 Must have a base package minimum £18 & £13.90 line rental = £57.65. Line rental must be with VM. Better broadband than Sky but just Freeview channels. Can VM line rental can be paid in advance on this package? If so, the cost would reduce to £53.75.

Just Sky Sports 1 & 2:

Via TopUp TV: £35 No need for a base package.

Via BT: £20 From January, currently £18.20. Must have a base package minimum £17 & £14.60 line rental =£51.60. Line rental must be with BT, can be paid in advance reducing cost to £47.75.

All Providers do Yearly Line Rentals now

Virgin charges £120 a year for their Line Rental

I used to have the Sky entertainment package on TalkTalk TV and it was cheaper than Sky then, but my line was rarely stable, lots of freezing pixellating, if the new service is better I would consider going back as Sky is expensive.

Over on another thread, someone has announced they will be trialling a new YouView STB from an ISP from Monday. This could either be TalkTalk's Huawei box or BT's Pace box. I've seen no photos of either of these boxes so assume they have not been released yet. TalkTalk could of course currently be using the more expensive Humax boxes as an interim measure prior to a big marketing push with the Huawei boxes.

There's a picture of the TalkTalk box on their website somewhere. It's on one of the YouView pages. Doesn't look anywhere as nice as the Humax box!

That's the one yeah. If you click the 'YouView TV' link next to 'Overview' you can see it closer up with all the channel logos spinning around above it. I'm intrigued as to what those 3 cirlces are in the middle... hope they're not 3 tacky stickers lol

Problem with the Humax box is it can't show multicast channels. You don't even get the freeview 110-119 channels on it either.

I think at a guess the two blue ones will be power/ connection and the purple looking one may be talktalk tv.
I'm only guessing at that though lol.

I did hear about that a while back. Do you know if they can fix that with a future update? They really didn't think this whole thing through properly did they considering how behind schedule it already was. Shame really because it has so much potential.

Nothings been confirmed yet but it has been suggested that a update to enable multicast channels could happen sooner rather than later. It was also said that all Freeview enabled boxes made after April 2011 must have multicast.
Make of that what you will.

But need to add broadband and line rental costs for fair comparison but still cheapest way of getting all Sky Sports channels.
