tdgeek:MikeB4:About a year ago I dropped Sky and was using Freeview (Freeview recorders are the work of Satan, they are all an abomination), Netflix, Prime a little Lightbox and Google. It was a total pain in the butt, one seem to be never ending searching for content (worth watching) and trying to remember if the series you were watching was on Freeview, Netflix or what ever.
I returned to Sky in the last month and oh the relief, I generally use one remote where as before there was always where is the &&^%$^ remote. No more spending/wasting time hunting for content. The small extra I pay per month is worth it 100%
I agree, its a good system, not bad for 1980's tech. And I don't need to use a 2019 phone to ask for help! I was going to drop it and get Fanpass for F1, $100 to $30, good saving. But no replays, no SkyGo, no popups. $70 is $17 a week, so what.
It’s a lot of money to some people, difference of having $800 around Christmas time if saved, but people have other costs to living as well, even at 1 hours pay a week
If people want to minimise cost even further you could take it down to cost per day, alter the time number the cost number changes accordingly.
I wouldn’t like to Light $70 on fire every month, if you’re spending it and feel getting value from purchase fine.
