 I am not residing in the UK, so unfortunately I can't help you to do things from the UK. You are welcome to give more details about the cost of Sky Italia Mondo+Cinema + Classica option, including the receiver. | |||

This morning they were scrambled in Videoguard and are now available only to Sky Italia subscribers. Also the price of your Sky Italia sub will be taking a nasty €4 - €5 rise p.m from January! This is due to the Italian Government doubling the rate of IVA (VAT) on satellite subscriptions from 10% to 20%. regards D. | ||

My System: Covering 30W-105.5E range, two motors, C and Ku band. Various receivers/cards/cams/etc. | I've compared quality of the same HD channels offered by SKY and other operators. Visually, SKY channels have much better resolution, and less blockness. Personally I like one channel from it - MTV GOLD, but 1. It's quality is very bad (352x576) 2. Even the basic package price, to which this channel belongs, is too high for 1 channel. | ||

I don't need sport of football, so just the Mondo + Cinema would have worked well for me. But this package is problematic because of the need to match card+receiver, also you run into the risk of your card becoming non functional if the provider finds out that the card is working outside Italy. The price outside Italy is quite expensive. No package is worth 15% more than the cost in the respective country. Unfortunately some people are willing to pay as much as the shop asks and so keep the price always high. | |||

Calcio channels are football ppv channels but also come as an extra package on their own for around 15 extra pm. | |||

These are the facts. The top tier package of Mondo + Cinema + Sport + Calcio which currently costs 68.72 pm is rising to 69pm, a 28 cent rise, far from the 97 quoted. The 'mid-point tier', example Mondo + Cinema, which currently costs 42.54 pm is rising to 43 pm, a 46 cent rise, far from the 8.7% and 35 quoted. The base package which your link quotes as rising from 23 to 28 pm is actually rising from the current 28.37 pm to 29.90 pm, a rise of 1.53 pm. The 'misura' package of any 2 mixes plus news is going up from 16.37 to 19.90 and is the only package that comes remotely near the percentages quoted in the linked article. regards D. | ||

I am not concerned about the cost in Italy, subscribers can take it or leave it (regarding subscription), but the problem would be with the middle men who will take advantage of this increase and offer a more ridiculous prices in the UK and other countries in Europe. Just wait and see. | |||

As the increase is not that high according to your calculations, then perhaps the shops would be content with their current prices. | |||

My System: Dreambox 500S Motorised Dish | Hi all I am from Malta.Whoever had the doubt of illegal subscriptions...I confirm that it is illegal. I am searching for a subscription to sky Italia Mondo + Cinema + Sport + Calcio + 6 channels (optional) The prices I found till now cost more than 2000Eur. It's really madness to buy at such a price. I was considering of travelling to Sicily for that price and arrange something there.Unless in here there is nobody who can sort this out for me. Se ci sono Italiani in questo forum posso parlare anche in Italiano. Grazie | ||
