I've been watching it for months without sky subs, but last week it came to a close.  Any way of fixing this without restoring sky?

I got sky tv essentials rolling contract for 15 pcm if that helps, and multiroom £5 pcm for a year. + RTV 14.99 pcm.

You can probably get tv essentials for less, as that is the standard pricing.

Through sky q box that is. For me it was worth £15 pcm to retain my sky q box and functionality.

I just wish racing tv could provide the broadcast online at the same speed as betfair so I don't have to subscribe to sky.  I'd even pay a little more!

For me the UI of sky and sky Q features are brilliant, and worth the small subscription payment. I personally have no interest in subscription sport or movies anyway (aside from rtv)

Everywhere who sells it is cheaper, Poncho! Plus you’re nearly a minute behind live.

until last week the sd racingtv for some users was about 2 secs  behind live - put i this way it would be ahead of sky racing at normal speed on sky box! It was the only channel to be so near to live, now it's about 20ses behind with hd abut 5 secs behind that. I  believe 75/year is a fair price, films and ppv included .

Can get it for 30-40 if really want, pay a little more and get ultra channels and catch up on many channels etc. get mytvonline3 and record, rewind etc. You pay for what you get.

poncho - there are several options out there for about £80 pa. All are about 45sec behind so no good for IR. All includes Sky, BT, TNT, BEIN, NOW, OPTUS, DAZN plus all EFL & EPL games. Also included are thousands of movies including new releases and TV series collections.
Delivered through a fire stick, which you need to have registered with the IPTV provider, I find that using a basic Amazon stick delivers better quality than a 4k stick.

45 euro a month for a RTV sub am I reading that right? Genuinely insane. Dodgy box your only man. I'd go as far as to say if you're not intuitive enough work out that value alternative you probably shouldn't be betting / watching racing in the first place.

That's the base price if starting out. I am aware of deals that can be done if you haggle with them as an existing customer. Think the gay stuff is an add on. Maybe you can enlighten us on that

They are two different things obviously. I love my Sky Q box, the UI, and the features but have little interest in Sky content or wokeflix. Sky TV essentials is a product that they don't advertise for obvious reasons. Others might feel different but keeping my Sky Q 2TB, and the UI, plus the multiroom is worth it for £20 pcm.

RTV is a negotiated discount for 12m contract.

Still on Sky+ here, won't get sky Q because for some reason they didn't build the slo mo feature into it, I use that all the time when replaying finishes, American Football, looking at an offsideGrin

I will probably go to streaming only eventually, probably when the sky q box is eventually knackered.

I’ve recently gone down the Sky Stream route. The live content is about as far behind as the firesticks. I can watch a race on ITV, and if I’ve got Sporting Life open the result will pop up before they cross the line on my telly! Loads cheaper with the Essentials package though.

I've read online people getting contracts for tv essentials for a tenner. But I went for the rolling contract for the time being. There's a new app out that you can stream terrestrial tv for free, but currently it's only available through an integrated tv. I should image sky will be sky in name only at some point in the near future, and satellite will be turned off. They are pushing everyone on to streaming and glass. Then RTV might have to go streaming only!

You’d have no telly to watch. Internet doesn’t go down any more though.

What about pausing, buffering, just like we get on a racing feed, I know a lot of that is down to the site but I don't like the idea of completely being dependent on the internet to watch telly.Scared
By:
s.kenbo
When: 13 Jul 25 17:20
It wasn’t very appealing to me either. There’s no buffering or lag at all. I don’t know if that’s down to good internet speeds or not.

I’m saving over £60 a month with it. My only real loss is Sky Sports, and hundreds of channels I never watched. No Babestation either so that was a blow!!

I have full fibre 500 with EE, guaranteed download speed 425Mbps and have not had any pausing/buffering issues.

I cancelled my Sky sub about 2 years ago so I don't have sky racing , I watch sky racecourses on BF Live Video

I bought two amazon fire sticks, one for the main TV and the other for the bedroom. I watch racing TV via streaming and your sub allows you to use 5 devices.

I also have the app on my phone and laptop so are currently using 4 of the 5 allowed.Obviously no good if you want to bet in running.

I have no regrets about leaving Sky and I am happy to stream everything now. One of the main advantages of streaming is you can watch your programme at a time to suit you and not at the fixed broadcast time. The various apps are fantastic for watching old programmes you had forgotten existed

What about when you've got bets on lots of televised stuff and you want to record different things to watch later on ???
