Default Foxtel only option for Sky Racing?

I have been keen for a while to get Sky Racing. Is signing up with Foxtel on their sports package etc the only option for me? What do you guys do to get Sky? I'd like all racing channels.

Thanks!

$25/month for SKY 1. That gives you pretty well everything except minor races that overlap starting times. With satellite dish it's only delayed a couple of secs. If you want SKY2 then they really rip you off! Not worth it IMO.

At the moment though, still no VIC racing on SKY....a joke!!

Oh i agree on that, but since my bets are done via betfair and auto it is ok just to see the action if wanted.
