BT Sport

I got rid of all subscription based television services about 18 months ago. Both sky and BT expect monthly subscriptions but offer no reason to keep paying. Pundits who are robotic, offer nothing but clichéd opinions, sometimes showing downright contempt for certain clubs (us being prime enemy). The money isn't worth it.

Even for general entertainment, you watch a 30 minute show and there are 6 minutes of advertisements.

Broadband and on demand services are they future, TV in its current format will go the way of print news.
 
If we're planning to do a mass boycott of BT (and sky), can someone put a guide up for streaming for those of us who don't really do technology too well.

Go on uSwitch broadband mate, you can look for every type of deal. I switched from BT after the group stages and moved TV, broadband and phone line to TalkTalk. The package was half price though that wasn't the motivation, it was of course their pathetic broadcasts of City games. I also got a £100 shopping voucher. Best thing I've done, saved money and don't have to watch their bile. The TalkTalk broadband is perfect too.

Cheers for the suggestion bud.

I've just phoned BT, and we're currently paying £42pm (upto 60mbs, unltd)

The Sunderland fan on the phone was a sound bloke and knew exactly where I was coming from, informing me to cancel in July as then I won't incur any early cancellation charges.

So I'm still with BT u forth, but will shop for a better deal when my contract is up.

And just to think, all this could be avoided if they simply paid Lakey, Andy Morrison and Uwe a few Bob and had them on as pundits
 
Question.

Can you KODI you PC wirelessly to your TV?

So instead of watching the match on my monitor, I can watch it on my TV.

Thanks.
 
I'm not bothered that the pundits for our games are not ex City players. I just want fair, balanced views and not childish, snide comments. Gary Neville managed it from the start. Complete professional. Ferdinand and co could not and even if they started to tomorrow you just know they don't mean it and have been instructed to be fair. They've burnt their bridges.
 
You normally have sky or bt outside the supermarket on a saturday and without fail when they see me in my City top they ask if i want to join.......they wished they hadnt as my reply is normally along the lines of ........not all the time you are up the scums arse and so anti City and have ex scum players as pundits on City matches. .........ps theres normally more swearing in the reply , .......they just look dumbfounded at me !!!. I think they recognise me now so have stopped my weekend fun by not asking me any more.

You can connect a device which runs kodi (such as a fire stick or fire box) from the TV to your router.
The Pc isn't needed.

Or you can use your pc as the device and install kodi on the Pc, then connect a cable from the graphics card/port on the Pc to the TV... This can either be a HDMI or VGA port, depending on what your pc has and what ports your tv has.

If it's a newish pc it may have an HDMI out, andmlst new TV have HDMI as well.

I'd just recommend the Amazon Fire box though, plug it straight to into your tx, which then connects to your internet... No need for a big pc next to the TV then.

But if this is complete jibberish jrb bud then check the kodi Bluemoon topic and more clued up people will assist in there
 
Just cancelled my subscription, went through all the usual bs about paying at a discounted rate etc etc but told them I can't watch when they continually slate my club, guy on the line said 'yeh, I've had a few on saying the same thing!'. Need to get some info of anybody re streaming 'for dummies' so I can ditch sky as well. Any techno guys on here who could sort me a box & info out??

LOL. There's no better reason. Loving all these cancellations. This needs to go to a wider audience.

Perhaps Stuart Brennan could do a freedom of Information request to see how many cancellations they have had. It's a good story and we know UEFA are not happy with BT's figures.
