35% off is the current deal I think for new customers.


I dropped Sky TV and Sports back in April but kept internet. Would I qualify do you reckon?

I think it's 12 months (might even be 18 now but not sure) before you'd be considered a new customer. Probably worth trying in April though if you can wait that long.

I'm thinking of getting Sky TV + Sky Sports again (already have a box and card) and watching the Masters next weekend, then cancelling within my cooling off period.

 

Don't fancy an 18 month contract of Sky TV and Sky Sports. I want to make sure I don't trip myself up doing this though!

 

I looked at NowTV but the 'Boost' feature (to get 50fps - so making sports actually watchable) isn't available on PC/Mac. Otherwise around £30 without contract for that would've been more appealing.

Even although you have a box and card it’d most likely be a clean install with new box and card, unlikely that you’d get an install before next weekend

Maybe I'll need to get a NowTV stick after all... reviews are quite mixed.

Got a deal - £27 a month with 18 month contract for TV and full Sky Sports HD. Curious if that was similar sort of deal to the family/friends thing.

 

Anyway all set to watch The Masters this weekend 😎

27*18 = £486

 

iptv = £30 a year for every channel under the sun.

 

Let me think about that for a minute...

Utterly horrific comparison and you know it.

And how does the £30 a year you pay make its way to the people who make the content you watch?

Why is that?


Because calling it a horrific comparison deflects away from the fact that paying £30 for iptv isn’t any different to buying stolen goods down the pub?

Yeah... I’d rather have full HD, 50fps and quality sound for my sport. Live pause/rewind is useful too.

To be fair you can get boxes to do that with iptv but your point stands that iptv is in no way comparable on any level to a sky q setup. Cheap as **** though.

It's totally different, if you steal a bottle of vodka the victim no longer has a bottle of vodka.

 

But anyway, so what, I'd steal vodka from Rupert Murdoch.

Thats the thing, you aren't stealing anything from Rupert Murdoch, he's not had anything to do with Sky for years. You would be stealing form the thousands of day to day folk that work in the TV industry

And what about the likes of Sky who have been "stealing" from normal consumers for years - £80-odd quid a month for a full package and they still have PPV events....all just to pump billions into the EPL. Appreciate the rank and file in the likes of Sky but no way I'm helping to ensure a run of the mill Sheff Utd player can get paid his £60k a week.

US conglomerate Comcast then.

 

And nonsense, there's zero chance of me paying Sky's rates so if I get a hooky stream, the thousands of day to day folk lose nothing.

Exactly.

 

The same folk who had a go at me ‘stealing’ a tv service are systematically funding a 3rd rate league and inflating middle of the road players wages.

Oh, and I bet if I search, the same folk berating me for ‘stealing’ will bemoan sky sports coverage of Scottish football.

 

So what is it lads?
