I called Virgin on Saturday. Before I could even finish my sentence about cancelling BT Sport, she was breathlessly telling me they can do special deals to keep customers.

Make the most of it, imo.

BT Sport & Sky have already told customers. There will be no change or refunds on all Sport channels.


That includes pubs who are charged over £1,000 a month.

To compensate you'd think they's get some of the Sky Sports News girls to get their threepennies out, not Claire Tomlinson.

So don't waste 40 mins ringing them. Pub owner yesterday told us no chance.

If BT and Sky aren't refunding then it would be interesting in how many renew when their agreement is up. Been thinking for a while but then renew but maybe not this time.

Whether they dirty delay people or not, mass cancellations are now inevitable. What will happen thereafter when things return to normal is they'll all be jumping over each other to better their "deals". I'm done with ALL the money grabbing pigs. As Ali G would say, my mate Dave can get a TV Smart Stick with ALL channels for £50 a year. This is the only way to go imo.

MAG boxes are fantastic; really, really! don`t understand why people pay Sky/BT £100+ a month for a hugely inferior product.

I`ve no idea what officially qualifies as a `smart` tv, but all it needs to have in order to use a MAG is a HDMI socket

Can't get these dodgy deals on my Apple IPad, when I'm out and about.
I pay for Sky /BT Sports so I can get all when I'm away from home.
Doubt the above mentioned cheaply alternatives afford this service.

You are more than likely talking about Kodi - which may well have dodgy streams that work sometimes or then get removed etc, and are miles behind live.

Certain things you can get on a stick (monthly or annual subs) are perfect, plenty in HD, granted you couldn't use for betting purposes due to behind live but you can't use RUK or ATR for that either. The Fury fight a few weeks ago was about 20 seconds behind live. Get a decent one and they are very good depending on what you want.

Better off paying for sky in my experience.

The boxes/sticks good in principle.

If you watch a match through Sky Sports red button, it’s a minute behind live. Fook knows why.

                             ...................................

I cancelled my whole Sky package last year as I was fed up with their small but steady price increases that they kept sneaking in.

But totally agree about their Scottish customer service department, they are a class above most of the other ones that I have had to deal with.

Funds piracy and organised crime   OK, you can continue funding Rupert Murdoch

The first three of your issues with may have been true years ago, or might still be the case with some systems, but the MAG boxes suffer none of those problems.

Given the reprobate-ish nature of many on here, maybe a clinching argument is that MAG boxes do um, err, `Adult` content stuff; just checked, mine has 14 XXX channels and 1723 XXX movies, with maybe five or six new movies added every week.
