I see on the Tiscali website it is from £21 a month so how much does it cost for both Sky Sports 1 and 2?

Just tried customer services but wasn't getting an answer so thought it's probably quicker to ask on here!

These www.homechoice.co.uk/micro/sky/packages.htm were the prices when it was Homechoice (r.i.p)

Doubt they've changed much.

For Sky Sports 1,2,3 & Xtra it costs £26.50 per month. Sky Sports 1 & 3 or 2 & 3 costs £22.00 per month. Sky Sports Xtra as a standalone channel is £7.00 per month.

Many thanks!

Any ideas if there is a minimum subscription period for Sky premium channels on Tiscali TV?
How about Setanta?
Is Sky Movies classed as one channel?
cheers

They have changed considerably since that site was set-up. You no longer get Sky Sports 3 when you take Sky Sports 1 or 2. Now you need Sky Sports 1 and 2 in order to get Sky Sports 3 and Extra (or Sky Sports Extra is available on it's own @ £7 per month) - at least this is what Sky's own customer's now need to have; clearly it's to provide better value for the whole Sky Sports package and they have also brought buying just one premium channel down in price at their last price change (again I am only talking about direct prices from Sky and not Sky By Wire but I doubt there will be any/much difference).

Off course it's also not clear which Sky Movies channels you get on each pack but again I assume their isn't much difference from Sky's direct arrangement.
Sky Movies Pack 1 has: Sky Movies - Comedy - Family - Classics - Modern Greats - Screen 1
Sky Movies Pack 2 has: Sky Movies - Action & Thriller - Sci-Fi & Horror - Indie - Drama - Screen 2
If you have Sky Movies Pack 1 and 2 you additionally get Sky Movies Premiere and Disney Cinemgaic

For clarification you may be better looking at Tiscali's website or perhaps Sky's own site and then referring back to the pricing.

EDIT: I just went back to look at the microsite and it only states Sky Movies 1 as far as I can see and therefore the best answer is to call them and get things clarified. Looks like they only provide half of the movie channels or that their info is out of date and in desperate need of updating. Apologies for the lengthy thread

Sorry billinge I don't know how you would get Setanta - I assume direct from Setanta or Tiscali

@Captian W the point is we aren't sky's own customers .
were tiscali/homechoice.
fishywik is correct.

For Sky Sports 1,2,3 & Xtra it costs £26.50 per month. Sky Sports 1 & 3 or 2 & 3 costs £22.00 per month. Sky Sports Xtra as a standalone channel is £7.00 per month.

1 CHANNEL £22.00 a month
2 CHANNELS £26.50 a month
3 CHANNELS £30.00 a month

Sky 1 & 3 are lumped as 1 channel
Sky 2 & 3 are lumped as 1 channel
sky movies (5 screens) is lumped as 1 channel
If you take Sky Sports1 and 2, you’ll get Sky Sports Xtra free. Otherwise it costs £7.00 a month. (with sky sports 3 thrown in)

You only need subscribe for a month, but you have to ring up at the end of a month to cancel, they don't cancel ahead of time, ie you can't say just one month please, the onus is on you to phone back when you want to cancel.

You get Setanta from Tiscali, there is no other way with Tiscali , were on a TV network not connected to anyone except Tiscali.
Setanta 1,2 and golf for £9.99
