You don't think we should attend away matches?

That's so clever, did you think that up all by yourself .

 

[ballinio]

Because i'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face

Your choice .

Sky and BT are both a shower of cunts. I just wanted to make my position clear.

Your choice .

Not really, it's a necessary evil for me to have them

If anyone with Sky absolutely wants BT then groupon are doing a deal, you buy a voucher for £9 and then fees are half price at £11.49 instead of £22.99. Still a lot, but if anyone is getting it anyway you might as well get it half price. It's only got a day or so to go on the deal.

I've got sky, just renewed again with 60% off, every year I intend to get rid of it, but after multi room and HD it comes in at about £40 so I end up keeping it on, more for the Mrs and kids. I also paid for sportsmania as recommended here and it worked really well, I'll do the same this season and see how I get on. I've also got Netflix and Amazon, there's no way I could watch a fraction of what I'm paying for, I'm sat here with all those options and watching the fucking news.

I really should buy a smart tv so i can stream it on my tv,at the moment if i connect up my computer to the tv it goes all blurry,thats why streaming is not for me unless i have to do it for our games then i just watch on my computer,that gives me a headache,so like i say a necessary evil to pay the twats

I take my hat off to your negotiation skills as I am struggling to get them to cut my bill by 15%. And I give up Sky Movies to achieve that. How did you do it?

That's a good deal, I might do that. I missed watching the champions league away games after I cancelled due to the piss poor coverage two seasons ago. Thank you for sharing.

I have both on my sky box and, for me, it is well worth paying for. I often time shift matches using the record feature, the picture quality is excellent and I can normally screw a good deal out of both firms. Commentary on BT is comically bad though their rugby coverage is excellent.

I find streaming a very frustrating experience on the whole despite good broadband speeds and a PC under the telly.
