TalkTalk Plus TV adds Sky 1 and six more channels as prices rise

TalkTalk has revamped its Plus TV package which will incorporates seven Sky channels including Sky 1, as standard from April 5 onwards. 

The seven Sky channels – Sky 1, Sky 2, Sky Sports News, Sky Living, Sky Living It, Sky Arts 1 and Sky Arts 2 – are currently available to Plus TV customers as an extra TalkTalk TV bundle, TV Starter Boost which costs £5/month extra. 

As a result of this, the basic price for TalkTalk Plus TV will also be increasing from £15.50/month to £18.50/month. That’s an increase of £3 or a £2 discount to customers who were already taking the TV Starter Boost.
