I have been a subscriber of Sky Sports for years and have never thought about cancelling it till now. This season it seems BT Sports is the better option. Take this week for example Everton v Liverpool is on BT sports tonight, Spurs v Man C is on BT sports tomorrow. Nothing is on Sky Sports. Last weekend we had some of the FA Cup games on BT Sports, nothing on Sky Sports. Next season you are going to have CL games on BT Sports nothing on sky sports (as far as I am aware). Even the early kick off games on saturday are now on BT Sport ( i used to enjoy watching the early kickoffs) and Sky get the 5:30pm kick off which if I am honest I hardly watch as I am going out or the missus hogs the TV.
What is going on, I can afford to have both but don't want to pay for both but BT seem to gradually be taking over. Anyone else thinking of switching over to BT Sport or at least signing up for it.
BT Sports or Sky Sports

I'm pretty sure thats sarcasm.
Just started reading this and what greatteams is saying is right. I know for a fact that with the cricket Sky buy the rights off of channel 5 in Oz when we tour down under and vice versa when the aussies tour here. All they do is re-brand it

hose deals, announced last week and worth a staggering £3.018bn over three years, will give all clubs in the Premier League a healthy boost from the 2013-14 season onwards. Details in a moment.
But until the Premier League have sold all their overseas rights for the 2013-16 period, we won’t know how much that will also add to the distribution pot.
''In 2010-13, the Premier League made £1.437bn from overseas deals. The earned £190m for the rights in Singapore alone, and £225m from the Middle East, and £146m in Hong Kong, and £111m in Scandinavia, to name just a few of the largest regional deals.''

So on the basis of one round of fixtures you're asking if you think it's advisable to switch from sky sports to BT sports? That's like a man united fan under the age of 30 switching to Liverpool on the basis of this season (no offence Greatteams).
So far sky have shown the following:
Man united vs Chelsea
Liverpool vs man united
Arsenal vs spurs
Man city vs man united
Chelsea vs man city
Man city vs spurs
Man united vs arsenal
Arsenal vs Liverpool
Spurs vs Liverpool
Chelsea vs man united
Arsenal vs Chelsea

Sky Sports £22 a month. That is on top of the Sky TV package you have. Plus you might pay around £10 a month for broadband. If you switch broadband to BT, which works out £8 a month with a 6 months free deal, you get BT Sports free. I have Sky Sports now but I think I will be doing some serious considering to moving to BT.

Sky have Italy and Germany (which account for sod all in the grand scheme of things) for premier league rights, thats it and the vast majority of them do not sign up purely for the PL.
The idea that it is big business for Sky worldwide is just wrong, which is why the rights were so cheap in comparison for those countries.
