    Cancelled my subscription 8 months ago.

    Been subjected to at least 20 phone calls and many letters since then, with very large reductions offered.

    Declined them all.

    Just cancelled mine. Had crept up over the years to £70 a month (inc internet but no BT Films Multi Room just standard Sky package)

    Rang them and they offered £20 a month discount. I said that discount just about compensated for no Chanpions League football.

    Told em to stick it and cancelled. Got a £38 OTT box on the way which my mates recommended. Got the lot on.... all streamed. Went to his other day. It's the dogs danglies.

    Look on YouTube at M8 OTT box. Get em for £40. There's reviews on there, seen it in action, it's unbelievable. Last Sat my mate was watching every PL game that the pundits on Soccer Saturday were watching. Can't wait for mine to arrive, comes with a remote and a keypad. Bit giddy me. All SS, BT, Films the lot.

    I keep moving seamlessly between a life with all sports channels to just BT to none at all. I'm like a sporting chameleon.

    I don't even have a TV :) I literally have zero interest in watching one - give me a book any day!
