you get what you pay for! There’s no in between! Either pay a small amount and get a poor service or pay too much for watching bland repeats. The choice is yours  |

Get a fire stick ...you can load it with what you want easily and free, my only advice would be to get fibre broadband as they buffer horrendously if you don't have good internet.  I got one did it all myself saves me £65 A month that I was paying sky! |

Oh Yeah!!! I wish them luck ..the worst they can do is mess up my fire stick (if that's at all possible) and by then I will have paid for it 1000 times over. |

Exactly this, if they were fairly priced to start with then there would be no need for people to look for other alternatives. |

A media van was parked in my street so I went out with my box and he refused to take it so I threw it in bin  |

From what I have heard a lot of these boxes have stopped working recently.
Sky have changed their encryption, so the patched satellite decoders with a "gift" no longer work. Kodi still works to a degree, but most HD streams have gone. There are a couple of other apps that run under Android, but given the way other items are falling by the wayside, for the time being, paying legitimately is probably cheaper than buying dodgy boxes that stop working altogether in a few weeks. |

When virgin came out I was in the area so paid 16 pound and many years later 56 pound I paid with adding stuff on and faster internet .But did you know this they actually turn it down .But still paid for quicker .I found this out when my box needed update . |

"What's wrong with 4 channels of TV  "
Four channels?
I thought there was only 3...
Don't think my tv has more than 3 buttons and to be honest the reception the last couple of years has been awful.. perhaps it's time I upgraded to one of those new fangled flat screen thingmys.. |

"I struggle to find time to watch much free television, so am baffled by others who pay for it and more. And I'm astounded at the prices I see advertised for sky, virgin "
There is no free television lol it cost £145 a year. The BBC have now claimed where as a 'free' view box use to be free because it wasn't a 'live feed ' they are now trying to make it law that you should now still have a tv licence to view it!! I use to have sky, they were a nightmare I could never understand that by having a satellite dish and not using any transmissions from the BBC last that I still had to pay for they're licence!! In my view that's 'stealing I get scammed by own governor every day!! I smoke, the they make them here in Britain and I still get charged double the tax than Spain do? And that's not stealing? That they can ship them to Spain and Spain sell for half the price than it costs me here, yrs that's right you heard me HERE!! in Britain!!! I work hard pay my taxes I'm not a strain on my doctor (thank God because I'd never get to see him even if I need to before going through at least 3 doctors on the phone first!) ...i think that's 'stealing as cynical as it is, the older I get I feel more that if i can get a little tv for free with my favourite movies on then fuck em!!! In going to do it. The BBC still get my money which sucks because I still use normal terrestrial tv (again even though it's through my sky dish) the only person in ripping off or 'stealing from is Mr R. Murdoch...and I think he will live !!! Xx
