Sky TV prices set to rise in September

It won't give any more information at present about which TV customers are affected, how much prices are likely to increase by and when a full announcement can be expected. (For more on getting cheaper pay-TV, see our Sky, Virgin and TalkTalk TV guide.)

But it posted on its website: "Sky TV prices will increase on 1 September. In accordance with our standard terms, prices may rise by up to 10% in the initial contract term."

If prices rise by the full 10%, then Sky's Original Bundle could rise from £21.50 to £23.65 each month.

Those with its Sports Bundle could pay £46.75 a month, up from £42.50.

But it's believed the increases won't affect all TV customers, and that price rises won't be as high as 10%.

Sky TV customers have to be given at least 31 days' notice of a price rise.
