I started with the month passes in lock down, and found it brilliant.
You’re on here saying split the bill between 3 people, not everyone has the opportunity to split the bill between family.
Please direct me to this place....
legal footy on tv for 10£. Wow, please give me the secret too!!
You have to take out standard Sky TV to be able to access Sky sports.
I agree, and thats the worst thing to do to a customer, to give them something and then take it away.
I am using sky go off my fathers account. But if i did not have that, i would just use nowtv, 10 euro for a day pass. Still expensive as i would only use it to watch united.
Through the tv packages yes. I do mine through now tv and BT month passes.
Yep - those days when you had to properly have the Sky tv dish, or go to some packed pub, or go to the game, which would be gold dust for tickets.
Now TV is a streaming service isn’t it so you’d need internet access too. I can see the benefits of Now and probably could use it, might be a option in the future.
It has killed piracy, but it's also a disruptive technology that's destroyed the previously existing industry for record companies. I think SKY and BT are more in the latter camp than the former. It'll be interesting to see what happens next. Season ticket holders must be irate and I think a lot of people are now fed up with both companies. I've cancelled SKY Sports and am not missing it one iota.
Do a PPV on NowTV for a fiver a match. That would be really good.
Do you think thats what they base it on?
I've never understood people who pay for something then complain about it. I remember when away fans took a banner to protest ticket prices at the Emirates (I think it was City fans, happy to be corrected). I'm sure the Arsenal bigwigs were too busy counting the money they just made for the rip off ticket prices to even notice the banner.
Yet that led to away ticket prices being capped at £30 in the premier league. So protests do work at times.
England is the most expensive place to legally watch the Premier League (from your armchair) in the world. England (and sometimes Wales!) is also the only place games are held.
Yes I’m aware, I am one of those people but you can’t even begin to compare sitting in your living room on own to being at the match to try and justify a price
You can’t have sky sports without the sky package can you?
I dont agree with it being £15, especially with no crowd, but as i said it's probably because the EFL charge £10 already, the PL won't undercut them. That said, the EFL feeds are streams and not high quality. The PL need to at least provide a 4k broadcast for this price.
Perhaps not on tv, but as above you can do it through now tv a lot cheaper.
End goal is fake crowd noise for ever more and rinsing people sat at home watching it.
Missed your reply earlier, maybe I’ll have to look into nowtv when my sky contract expires. It was bad enough when BT and SKY split the games and now this.
If you just want to watch sports and go on the Sky website to price it up, Sky TV with Sky Sports and BT Sport is 91 quid at list price. 70 with current discounts.
Beauty of now tv is it's so flexi, jump in for a month, sack it off after etc.
Haha
So someone paying £100 a month for sports and moaning about it isn’t an idiot??
Pretty certain it was £7.99 per match.
Some people don't really think that is a sum of money worth bothering with. £100 is a tame night out for a lot of people.
Like someone mentioned earlier, they're adding in the cost of sky tv itself, which you can't get sky sports on tv without.
Current BT Sports deal available for £12p/m for 18 months for virgin customers on hotukdeals.com
you said 90% of £100... so please tell us where this £10 sports package is.
So you’d have to have a virgin subscription to begin with no? And how much does that cost ?
I said in some cases
I don’t have virgin so I wouldn’t know
As has been said it is getting better all the time but the biggest issue is people want to pay a fraction of the full cost for something then complain when it isn’t exactly the same in terms of quality/reliability.
When I lived with my mother years back we had Sky & the issue in itself wasn’t the Sports Package it was that you had to have other packages as standard.
