Pleased to see that football lovers can get good cheap coverage from Sky in New Zealand at last. It is all about competition. Fox in Australia have also had to come to the party.We have always had good coverage but the price has dropped. I now get all the channels, UK tv, History etc the nine sports channels( including ESPN ) plus beIN Sports for $56 a month. This does not include the nine movie channels.
Leggy, that's a really good price considering all the channels you get.
I see that Fox Sports also have their own version of "Premier League Pass" now where they offer every Premier League game online for only $89 per season:

Four games live every round, the rest on demand.
Sky TV in NZ have all sorts of special offers going now because they are having to compete with all the online service like Netflix, Premier League Pass etc.
I just got Sky TV put back on this week for the A-League, ASB Premiership, Euro Championship qualifiers etc.
Only $39 / month including Sky Sport !!!
Plus free My Sky + for a year.
You can get Sky Basic plus Sport for only $39 / month by phoning this marketing company who work for Sky:
Phone 0800 475 988
You might have to keep phoning back until someone answers (what I did) and can also leave a message for them.
Probably better to phone on a week day too.
Only a six month contract but you get the reduced price for one year.
In other words you can terminate it after six months or if you want, carry on getting the reduced price and free My Sky + for one year.
(You probably will have to give Sky TV some notice before they will disconnect you)
Note that you can't get this offer by phoning the standard Sky TV numbers, only the number above.
Offer open to anyone who has never had Sky or (like me) has not had Sky TV in the last 60 days (minimum period of 30 days notice plus 60 days with Sky disconnected)
Offers which the marketing company has going:
Free My Sky + for a year with all offers:
Sky Basic = $29 / month
Sky Basic + one premium channel package (e.g. Sport or Movies) = $39 / month
Sky Basic + two premium channels = $49 / month
