You don't have to get the full entertainment package. You can take out documentries, Childrens, music etc. That should save you a bit. 

Best way to save a few quid is to cancel and wait about 6 weeks. You will get a half-price offer through the post.

Even better is to ring up Sky & say you want to leave. They'll offer you some good discounts.

Hi,

@ jjbomber- There's only 2 entertainment packages now - SKY Entertainment and SKY Entertainment Extra.

AFAIK they were £20 and £25 respectively.

Best thing to do as mentioned above is to politely call and say you are considering leaving as you don't feel you are getting value for money or something along those lines.

Cheers,

Cofnchtr.
