birch-chorley Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, RONNIE PHILLIPS said: 10 million @ £8 is 10 billion? Assume he means £8 a month like Netflix so effectively £100 a year x 100m subscribers = £10bn a season Not sure you would get 100m subscribers at that price though In the U.K. potentially 15m tops, where are the other 85m coming from? Places where consumers can afford that price (US & Europe) have popular domestic sport that takes priority Youd need to get folk in the Far East paying £8 a month which is a big ask really. It would have to be a bit cheaper but then your going to need more subscribers. I’d be worried that more and more people will just start to steal the content on line and avoid paying entirely Edit - a quick google shows a total of 140m Netflix subscribers globally, nearly half of which are in the US - PL aren’t going to get anywhere near that!

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 9, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2019 Sky's football and cricket coverage has been very good for me. Particularly the latter. That said, it all became too pricey. Bit the hand that fed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane57 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I had Sky for years but the constantly creeping up monthly cost sent me in the direction of the IPTV providers. Instead of a ton a month mine now is fifty quid a year plus an initial investment of about the same in a good Android box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last ashes tour being on BT was the beginning of the end for Sky’s (very good) coverage / monopoly of cricket this American shite they’re now ramming down our throats is purely there to plug the gaps on the stuff they’re losing. Their La Liga coverage was absolutely superb. Now they’re not even willing to be used as a platform for Eleven sports.. their sports coverage and Sky Atlantic were the only reasons I stuck with them. The programmes on Atlantic have now ended or ending and sports is nowhere near as good Edited February 9, 2019 by barrycowdrill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of a ton a month mine now is fifty quid a year plus an initial investment of about the same in a good Android box I’ve gone the other way and was ending up paying £52 a month (from an initial £28 only 18 months previously!) for Virgin internet to get a decent speed for IPTV and latterly NowTV. In the end we’ve signed up with Sky and get internet, Sky Entertainment, Sky Q box and all the Sky Sports channels for essentially another tenner a month.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 9, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2019 Seems reasonable that BC. I went to now TV too. Get a week's sports pass occasionally, and subscribe to movies. Interestingly, we used to have entertainment too, but never used it. Cancelled it and was offered it at half price for a while, but still sacked it. Then cancelled movies and was immediately offered that at half price for a while. Snapped it up!

We had 12 months of NowTV sports Nov 2016-Nov 2017 as part of a special offer and we ended up with entertainment and/or movies for nowt for at least 6 months of the 12. However, the main purpose was for sport and as it runs 45-60 seconds behind the main Sky feed it was a pain in the arse with FlashScores or Twitter updating with a goal before you’ve seen it.

If raheem Sterling's crying out for 400 grand a week , i aint gonna blame some Championship RL player for the Subscription going up. when simon jordan were selling mobile phone contracts, you couldnt tether the mobile phone to your home broadband or vice versa. They even used to peddle the lie that "Desktop Websites" used four times the data that Mobile ones did. theyre (mobile phone contracts) still fragmented in such a way so that 'voice' and 'data' are priced separately to maximize profit even though its the same stuff. remember all the ISPs skriking when things like napster meant you really could use up 30gig 'unlimited' allowances. ? Its one of the reasons all the Quad Pay stuff came about , at least they were getting paid somewhere in the chain. bundling the shit together obscures the costs I dont think theyll do it , for those and other reasons.

Dr Faustus Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I picked a nowtv mobile pass for £5.99 a month. Four devices, and I believe I can stream to my TV.
