[News] Sky Sports pause

[Lincolnshire Seagull]

They sent me an email and I just followed the links provided. It was as if they really wanted me to do it. What's the catch, I wonder?

It would be excellent if they transferred the subs from sport to cinema until,footy was back on.

 

[Eeyore]

I've paused mine.

However...

Does this extend my subscription by the time it has been paused for ?

Pausing Sky Sports during the COVID-19 outbreak

Whilst we expect that many of the recently postponed sports events will go ahead, if you wish to pause your Sky Sports subscription in the meantime you will not be charged a fee to do so or be held to any notice period. Meanwhile we continue to provide high quality content across all of our 11 Sky Sports channels.

We are sorry that you are currently unable to pause your Sky Sports subscription online, however, in light of the circumstances we are working hard to introduce this in the coming days. Please check back online from Friday (20 March 2020). In the meantime, please be aware that we have reduced resource in our call centre and we apologise if you are unable to get through to us on the phone.

It just came up on the my account page for me with a button saying pause your sky sports. Clicked on it. Takes you to a waiting page then to the page to pause on

No idea on that but wouldn't surprise me

Yep. Excellent idea. Will keep people loyal until sport returns.

I have kept trying after finding it and it has a 500 error, which is an overload Apache error.

Sorry

The page you are looking for is temporarily unavailable.

Please try again.

Worked on the 3rd go. What's the catch?

 

[Dave the OAP]

Wohooo just did it and my bill went down to 75 and I have added sky movies for 31 days for an extra 8

BT sport via Sky doesn't get paused. Come on BT.

Yeah I was hoping that would be taken off, guess Sky are waiting for BT.

 

[Nitram]

Any sign of BT doing likewise?

Not at the moment by the looks of it. Hopefully will match Sky soon.

No it's there.

log in at sky.com ( then there's a large blue box saying " Sky Sports" Pause your subscription )

This. Might phone them tomorrow and threaten to stop my whole subscription.

By that I mean spend three hours on hold and talk to an Indian call centre who will only be able to answer via script and flowchart, while a similar offer is posted up on the internet.

I just did this online and the Sky Sports package is still available to watch you just don't get charged!

So do I log in on a desktop sight to do it because I got the ‘come back Friday’ message from the App.

They might ask you about your Amazon Prime sub going up at the same time
