Illegal IPTV or hacked tv box service probably.

 

I’m new to it, the intention is to look into a bigger box if we use it often and so far we are.
Its all well and good people saying they watch live tv on these boxes, sticks etc but buffering makes it a pita.

 

That's why people now use IPTV services, where you pay a small sub fee, there is no buffering, still illegal obviously.

 

All the movies inc box office, box nation fights, all the live sports, daytime kick off, f1 channels, USA channels, amc, ppv etc too many to list. £40 per year.
I don't have time to watch owt though lol.

 

Nope, all legal and through SKY.

I've been with SKY since we moved in to our current house in 2005. At the time ther Digital TV reception was shocking so we had SKY installed. We opted for the basic Entertainment package with the Disney channel.
When in 2012 SKY launched the F1 channel, if you took the HD package they threw the F1 channel in for free. The HD channel was offered to me for £5 per month. This took my monthly outlay to £27.

I kept this package up until 2 years ago when I got rid of the Disney channel as the children no longer watched it and also told them I wanted to ditch the HD channels. Much to and fro between us with me eventually telling them I wanted to leave, and unsurprisingly they came back with an offer I couldn't refuse, a rolling monthly contract of £13.50

I even managed to blag a new HD box off them as the original had started to freeze

 

Fair play

 

So you don't have any HD channels now? lol no wonder its so cheap.

I know you said you had no digital reception, but if that's the case then you are paying Sky £162/yr for whats effectively freeview Not a great deal really is it.

 

Where did I say I don't have any HD channels?

I have the SKY Entertainment package plus the F1 channel, all in HD for £13.50 per month.

Is that clear enough for you?

And the digital reception is still very poor. We have Freeview on our TV but only manage to get a dozen or so channels.

And for £162 a year, I think it's excellent value

 

no internet package?

 

Yes. Unlimited SKY fibre. Call package too.

 

sounds like serious underbilling going on there given the unlim fibre is £40 on its own. i wouldnt tell em though lol

 

The £13.50 is for the TV package.

 

ah so whats the total bill?

 

Unlimited with a call package and line rental for 18 months (I'm 4 months away from the end of the contract), I'm paying £27.99 a month.

And before any smartarses (bioforger) replies, saying I'm paying too much; I'm happy to pay it, I think it's excellent value for money and it's cheaper and faster than Infinity I previously had

 

Thats really good, were going to get cash back online, but ended up getting a Sky deal that wasn't much more, and saved waiting for cash back. £13.50 a month is good.

 

er you said you asked them to ditch the HD channels, what did i misread there? make yourself clearer, still sounds like bs to me though

 

If we were not fleeced for the cost of having a Landline it would be about £20 cheaper.
Who uses the landline these days.?
I never pick up the telephone ever...!

 

I do! (work)

Mind you. I get told off for calling my mobile a 'telephone'. lol

 

 

Agreed. However...ironically...it's required for the broadband! Bloody annoying.

 

Don't SKY use BT infrastructure?

 

Yes they use the line from the exchange to the house, known as Local Loop Unbundling.

 

I haven't logged on SN for months but nothing changes. The same morons in NSR arguing over religion, android vs apple and Brexit, then there's bioforger bundy stating Kodi and IPTV won't last long...

I've been using Kodi for years, still do and only last night night watched the new Transformers film in full HD. As long as you know how to maintain Kodi, it's a great free tool for films and TV. The same with IPTV....A great source of live TV without the huge monthly costs. I paid £45 for a years subscription of IPTV, which includes VOD, live tv and PPV events all in HD....It's a no brainer if you don't care about recording tv shows or 4k but ffs, it's a one off low payment for less than a monthly subscription to Sky/Virgin.

A photo of IPTV in HD on my Sony Bravia android TV using Perfect Player app downloaded from the play store straight to the TV.



The latest Kodi 17.5 downloaded from the Play Store straight to the TV and using a Spinz TV build.




For some people, the days have gone of paying hundreds and hundreds pounds a year for TV.

 

Can you get Sky sports on it?

 

As the days of net neutrality are looking like being more and more numbered - could Bioforger not have a point, though? We lose freedom of the internet and stuff like this will be a thing of the past. That's the aim of these service providers, control our access and take more money!

I agree, though, giving these corporations so much money for lack-lustre services should be a thing of the past and freedom of choice should be king!

I'm thinking of cancelling my Time Warner Cable (Spectrum) service and switching to 1gb connection with AT&T then just going with some cheaper online options.

 

Yea exactly they WILL get shutdown, in fact there's going to be a big push/clamp down not just on kodi run "services" well that happens all the time now, but also on illegal IPTV sharing too in the very near future.

Mark my words faillen you narrow minded sh1tcarnt and hush your gums

 

So rang up sky to see what deal they could do.

movies, sports, all tv, highest net package (up to 80mb), sky q (+2 minibox's), evening and weekend calls,

£120 a month and £184 install fee.

 

Not cheap..!
I don't have the movies and my internet is 20mb I think ,I half the 2 x mini boxes and ive had it reduced to £77 per month.
Tell em to poke it thieving scum.IMO..!

 

Ouch.

 

Are you going to take up the offer? Sounds a fortune to me, but then again I am a tight Yorkshire git!!!
