My mate has Kodi and it's a bit shit and unreliable. Not really a true replacement for sky but will do if you're in a fix I suppose. I'd rather pay the money and not fuck about with the tedium of having to find working stuff. Lots of folk on here seem to rate it though.

it will cost a bomb to have a roof put on but you save a fortune on heating bills and paying for rain damage in the long run geez

There are so many streaming sites now, for sports, tv shows, movies, I can't understand why anyone pays for Sky.

Got rid of Foxtel (aus sky) as i have sportnation on kodi and had hardly used it anymore, even using Kodi for the stuff I had on Foxtel. Much better, ore choice and a shit load cheaper, don't miss it at all.

never really got on with kodi. Always seemed to go slow for me even with a good internet connection. maybe it was how I was adding it to firestick or box that I had.

No sky for China Eastern Airlines flight MU736 yesterday, which returned to Sydney soon after take off when a massive hole appeared in one engine. The pilot's mayday call: "Engine number one fucked."

You buy a box that records.

If you want to keep sky the first thing you should do is get the price reduced. Ring up, ask to go straight through to cancellations, start the 30 day period, they'll either give you a big reduction there and then or ring you back in a week or two to try and entice you back.

Google zgemma boxes or youtube It.
Or iptv as sky are on a purge encrypting their channels again.
If you have Virgin fibre Internet a zgemma h2h will do the trick.

Being a deaf bastard it's the subtitles that are a big pull for me with Sky compared with streaming.
To the OP I agree with Marston. I was just coming up to the ends of a 12 month 40% off deal for everything. That's £50.40 for Sky, Movies, Sports and HD. Did their Live Chat to cancel and after a bit of haggling they offered me an 18 month deal at 40% off again, so the same deal. Maybe if I had quit they may have offered 50 off in a month via post but to be honest £50 a month for the whole lot I can live with that.

Get a freesat box. Stream the other stuff.
Life will go on without Sky.
Do your bit to stop all this money going to players.

just got Q recently, got a good deal on movies and sports too. all in pay about 75 per month with two extra mini boxes. just a shame there isnt as much UHD content as i would like at the moment, that should improve soon.

Pay £22 a month basic SKY HD package that has box sets and all the docs (Discovery/History/Sky Atlantic etc)... sport I get £1 a week with Sportsmania.... films I get free through Android (Kodi)... so in all I suppose it works out to £26 for what was a £100 a month package
