So you will be able to choose your sports with sky soon to save yourself money, that is unless you watch every sport i suppose

Interesting idea depending on the choices. I'm not overly fussed about the Premier league any more. So if I can get a deal on NFL (skysports us or something similar?) that's cheap I'd consider that.

From the Guardian's comments section:

"Surely Sky could have been more inventive with its channel selection? Why not put cricket and rugby together - a sort of Sky Sports Public School channel - where the only interruptions are occasional 3 day eventing and Waitrose adverts?"

they've recently managed to put an end to card sharing - the cheapest, easiest and most widely used way of pirating sky channels. the alternative IPTV needs really solid unlimited broadband and some  technical know how to set up,  not to mention it's not nearly as easy to get things looking like sky with EPG's etc.

sky won't publicly admit that a big reason viewing figures where down for football matches was cracked card sharing boxes being openly sold on ebay.

now they've ended card sharing cheap packages to hoover up their lost market share before IPTV pirating really takes off was inevitable.

Where will the darts go? I seem to remember reading an article a while ago that said it was one of their most watched sports?

So looks like...

http://www.skysports.com/relaunch

• Enjoy the best international Rugby Union, Rugby League, boxing, darts, NFL, tennis and more on the new Sky Sports Action and Arena channels

Im assuming they bundle those two together then... And by the look of it Red Zone will be on these. Again I'm assuming it'll be off of sky sports mix which won't be there any more. So will be on pay only.

Apparently 18 quid a month for one channel 22/23 for 2. That is by no means a better deal than previously.

Didn't realise they are separating the football? Assuming I've read it correctly there is the PL channel and then the everything else football channel?
