Sky TV bill: Six simple steps to save you hundreds of pounds

Customers can save up to 20 per cent at the click of a button

The broadcaster is revamping its offering, giving the option of cheaper packages but there's another way to save without giving up any of the channels you currently enjoy (PA)

Sky is reportedly changing the way it sells its sport packages by scrapping the numbered channels.

In their place will be new sport-specific channels, in the same way it currently has a dedicated home for Formula One motor racing - Sky Sports F1.

Football will have two listings, while there will also be channels for golf and cricket.

The revamp will allow the broadcaster to offer cheaper deals to customers who have become increasingly reluctant to shell out £50 per month or more for a TV package.

The new deals will start at £18 per month and customers will be able to pick and choose specific sports or movie channels they want to add. Those wanting the whole range, including channels such as Sky Cinema, Sky Boxsets HD and SkyQ, could still pay around £100 per month. Sky has not confirmed the details of the revamp.

However, there is one way loyal customers can make big savings on their satellite TV costs without getting rid of any of the channels they currently enjoy.
