ESPN

edited July 2011 in General Charlton
Thinking about getting EPSN - am already a sky sports customer, says the first 3 months are free then after that it is £9 a month.

My question is how would you go to cancel it after the first 3 months and moreover are you actually allowed to do this!?

Has anybody else here had this? Thanks

    Think you'll find it's a 12 month contract.

    I get it free on my Virgin Media Sky Sports package.

    I have ESPN and have done so since the demise of Sentanta , if you are a sports nut like me and also enjoy US sports and MMA, I would recommend it as good value

    thanks but there on the website there still seems to be no information on whether or not it is possible to get the free 3 months if you are a sky sports customer

    Yeah, thats right.  I normally have ESPN through the Prem season then turn it off in May, then have it reconnected again at the start of the next season (and I just happened to have it reconnected yesterday afternoon so I could watch the Spurs friendly).

    When you cancel, you need to give them 30 days notice.  So if you only intend to keep it for the 3 month period, you need to phone them at the end of the second month.  When you phone up to connect, they go through all this with you on the phone!

    Tell them you're moving to Sky. They put you through to a retention team. They wouldn't reduce my price, but they offered the XL TV pack & ESPN for nothing, which would have cost about £30 pm extra.

    I tried that and they said ok then lol so I then had to back track and say not really

    I have VM, had SS and got rid of it. I get ESPN free with the large XL package. And you get free V+ and V-HD with the XL Package

    Christ think ill swerve it then if thats the damage.  Not that bothered about the Premiership anyway was just thinking it would be good for the odd game and the boxing. £400 notes a year is a bit pricey for that though.

    VM is not always that clever when you threaten to leave,

    If you have broadband they have you by the short'n'curlies.

    Package was £45 when I started in 2001 and is now nearer £80 and I've ditched Sky Movies.
