I’m not blaming sky. It was the pl and it’s co start greed, sky only did their bidding and paid a lot of money for the privilege then marketed it like Donald trump, mostly lies and nonsense, but done well.
Sky are just a facking awful corrupt company, good riddance if possible.
Have you seen how Bezos treats his staff? He's one of the most vulgar humans in the world.
I doubt Sky is going anywhere soon anyway, now that ComCast has acquired it.

Nope. I’ve been a customer, and they will rip you off at every chance. I know a couple of folk that have worked as dish installers/sky fitters , sky treated them as utter caaants.. then you have sky hacking itv digital etc..caant of a company, I’d love to see them fail. Though not as much as I would have under that old ballbag murdoch...
Should say ‘allegedly’ hacking. Though ....
What's this about hacking ITV?

They've nailed it with Sky Q imo. YouTube, Netflix, Spotify all on there. Amazon Prime in the pipeline.
Dream scenario.

You don't need to. Netflix App in on the homepage and in the On Demand section.
Ah right I can do that yeah, I meant if you pay for the combined thing (and cancel your existing seperate sub) then they mix the programs from all on demand areas into your suggestions etc.

It's only the UK which suffers this utter shambles
Step outside to pretty much any other country in the world and you can watch every single Prem (plus the rest) game live and also on demand for a fraction of the cost
Hopefully there will be some sort of revolt if things continue like this.
It should really be regulated better though, price to the consumer should be capped and the only allowable split in rights should be to allow the free to air channels a slice of the pie.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm already revolting, in my own little way, I cancelled BT. That'll show 'em. Waiting a call from the CEO now.
^^ I don't think you're revolting, Henry'sCat. I think you're quite charming
Be it Sky, Amazon, BT or whomever. NONE of them could get away with ripping people off, if people didn't keep sitting giving them money. It's not those companies, it's the fans who season after season, just keep on paying like mugs.
The other countries you all mention, where it's all free or cheap. It's because the people/fans of those countries refuse to get stuffed like that. Some places there'd be riots if you tried the crap that sky and Co are pulling here.
Amazon is in the mix now to present a passable appearance of "Competition" offering choice for the customer. When in reality all they'll be doing is covering games the others don't. Getting their piece of football pie and overall increasing prices for fans.
None of this will change until fans simply refuse to pay the ridiculous prices ALL of these companies demand for the privilege. A bit like most other things in the PL, the fans here need to start using the power they have constructively. If the PL fans had put half as much effort into fighting prices, as they have into getting various managers sacked, since the league started. Then we wouldn't have this problem.
