TV Sport

Post by New Forester »

I had most bases covered by subscribing to Sky Sports, Amazon Prime and the BT Sport app from Plusnet. From 5 July Plusnet are no longer offering the BT App which used to cost me £10 monthly. There’s no way I will now pay £29.99 for BT Sport. Amazon Prime are offering it for £8.99 if you have a BT ID. I don’t have that. Once upon a time Sky Sorts had a virtual monopoly are sort not on mainstream TV. Completion has now substantially increased the cost of following all the major sports on TV.
Any tips on the best deals around to cover most major sports?

I have used my VPN connection to watch most of Pompey`s matches this year when it was a saturday match, it did cost ten euros a match. Regarding Sky I have just removed the sport, since Pompey are rarely featured and I was not really watching any other games. I think I can purchase the match individually when Pompey do feature. I have Amazon Prime and a BT ID, so I am not sure yet what I am going to do next season. All will become clearer as the season approaches
You can take the man out of Pompey
But you can`t take Pompey out of the man

I thought you could add BT sports to your Sky Sports package for £9.99 extra
But that’s based on the past as I just use day passes on Now tv for anything I’m wanting to watch
It’s ridiculous that Plusnet will not do it as they are 100% owned by BT

What's a day pass set you back now? I feel I've only seen 3 games in the last two months so that might be a better option for me moving forwards.

Wows. Long gone are the days of 6.99 on prem plus lol. I think at that price it’s about the break even point for when I watch sports. Frustrating.

Is it any wonder people pay for the hooky services run by the group who got jailed recently? I think even iFollow's too much at £10. Streaming was always going to be the future and not just in sport, but as usual it's got out of hand price wise.

Individually I don't think the price of steaming services is too bad, it's the fact that content has become so distributed.

I went with NOW TV £21 per month special deal for 6 months get all of SHY Sports, and also have BT Sports plus Amazon Prime which is useful for next day deliveries.With BT Sport you also get Eurosport I still subscribe to an American Streaming service which means you can watch UK tv from abroad.
