Sorry in advance if this has been covered off a million times already.

We have a previously installed sky dish on our property, is there any way i can sign up to sky without a term contract?

Essentially, i only need it for the football world cup. I'm aware the term would go towards a cheaper monthly rate, so am willing to pay more per month subscribed. Is there an option for this?

I have had (and honoured) term contracts in the past whilst flatting. I dont watch anywhere near enough television to justify the ongoing expense now that my partner and i jettisoned the flatmates.

(and before anyone says it: no i don't mind watching the games at the pub, this is more convenient and would prove cheaper if the costs of beer are factored in Cool)

I really don't think you'll be needing sky. TV1 and TVNZ 7 are showing a fairly decent number of games (there are schedules listed at http://tvnz.co.nz/2010-fifa-world-cup-news/world-cup-tv-schedule-quarters-semis-and-finals-3473327)

See the following discussion for other options also (SBS off Optus D1), probably wouldn't be too hard for you as you already have the sky dish, just need a receiver:
