Picked this up a couple of weeks ago. Thought my £21 Sports and Movie package was good, Now just £16.50. Now if Talk Talk can do a deal with BT before the Ashes?

Incredible deal to get cheap Sky Sports! Though I believe I'm right in saying that there is no HD option, which is unfortunate! If you can live without HD, I doubt you'll get it any cheaper than this!

We have this offer too amazing deal for the price! Also I'm not sure if it's my eyes but it seems to be in HD quality as they sent an update to the Talktalk box and it's now clearer than the sky box when watching the cricket!
Either way good deal voted hot OP :sunglasses:

Perfect timing. My Sky TV contract ends in a week after declining the Sky customer retention team's best offer to stop me cancelling as It was more than my current deal so I will take up this offer as an existing TalkTalk customer instead. It makes sense as I rarely watched any Sky channels other than Sky Sports channels anyway and not having HD is no big issue for me. Shame it doesn't include Sky Sports News with the free TalkTalk TV box (live pause/rewind and 7-day catchup but no recording facility) option though. I will probably still opt for the free box as I already have a BT YouView+ box for recording Freeview channels and rarely need to record Sky Sports programmes anyway.

last time we let ours expire then the next day went to the "come back to sky" website. got everything minus sports and movies for £7 a month over 12 months AND £100 credited to our account. might be worth waiting to check. link for the previous deal (not sure if it's still on). hotukdeals.com/dea…986

Ok, thanks. Will check it out as this TalkTalk deal is still open for another 3 days after my Sky TV contract expires.

If Sky actually dropped the price to this they could take my money now.

My mom has talk talk, would it be possible for her to activate this offer and me to use it in a different address? She has a youview box but doesn't use it so I could use this, can it be used independently with a password or does it automatically detect you're a customer from your phoneline?

It takes the feed through the broadband so it needs to be connected to a talktalk bb line.

Heres a mind blast. 'You can connect ANY router to a TalkTalk BB Line'

No. It doesn't just have to be a Talktalk line, but has to be the line that's subscribed to it. Openreach use Multicast for all the Youview IPTV channels. The line is configured to receive certain channels.
You need a router that supports IGMPv3. Sometimes the option might be labelled as IGMP Snooping/Multicast forwarding.

I would take this except last time I had a play with talktalk TV it would only work with the talktalk router (so swafe that would affect you trying to use it elsewhere I assume.) From what I've read it sounds like their router is more hackable - and anyway I have lots ot stuff tied into my netgear router (even though I do get my broadband from talktalk.)
Also wrt HD, in order to get sky sports with sky in HD you have to have the family\boxsets package before you're even allowed to add the sports hd pack so it costs a fortune. 22 quid more than original + sports in SD (before any % discounts you negotiate.)

Have been looking into this deal, and here is some info that might be useful:
Talk Talk TV is SD quality not HD (but then so is Sky's basic offering)
Talk Talk TV comes with a free TV Lite Box, however the website now mentions a "Flash Sale - FREE TV Plus Box (worth £50)"
The Talk Talk TV boxes do not have wi-fi, and so need to be connected to the router using a ethernet cable (or get some powerline adaptors).
The Sky Sports Boost does not include Sky Sports Mix or Sky Sports News.
The Sky Sports Boost cost is £8.50 a month for 18 months, however you can cancel this boost at any time - "no long-term commitment".

I just asked a few follow up questions on the account web chat: the TV box is connected via Ethernet cables, this would be inconvenient as the router and main TV are in different rooms. TalkTalk do sell a pair of power line adaptors for £20 (these seem to take Ethernet rather than USB cables at both ends). The basic box is free and does not require the Starter TV package (I can't think that we would ever watch them) so it is possible to take just the Sky Sport bundle at £8.50/month with no extra costs on top of the existing broadband package.
We don't use the supplied TalkTalk router, but our Netgear one should work fine with the TV box.
This seems like a good deal if one needs Sky Sports - I suppose I have to decide whether we do or not now.
