Sky continue to think of new ways to rip people off

What happens if you have Sky multi-room? Are you expected to buy one of these for each room?

I'm beginning to understand why the previous generation was frightened of technology in the late 80s. I can't keep up with it now or even tell the difference between HD and standard TV.

I don't really understand this proposition. I'm paying too much already for Sky and want to just pick off channels that are important to me. I don't want infinite bundles and paying extra for HD and for other rooms. I mean how out of date is that.

All the streaming services give me five accounts and multiple devices. Sky is an expensive confusing nightmare for most consumers now.

NOW TV through a Roku stick

I only have a Sky Sports Subscription which you can stop/start as you wish, no long term contracts. Sometimes I'll add on Sky Cinema for a month, or the entertainment channel and cancel it if there's sod all on it I fancy.

What about the risk of prosecution under the Digital Economy Act in 2017?
I believe govts are getting a bit feisty about this.
The other issue is, do you feel safe dealing with people that are deliberately flouting the law for profit.
These are just questions I'm not looking for a fight. Merely exploring your greater knowledge in this area.

This.

I was given a 'link' by a mate who said to get one for the boxing on Saturday, I ended up in some pretty shifty sounding conversation with some 'geezer' on Facebook. At one point I thought he was going to say I needed to collect it from a car park round the back of Tesco's.

Anyway, I'd rather just pay for NOW TV, pay for pay per view etc.

Couldnโ€™t help you. I have used the same IPTV provider for the last 5 years so pretty safe handing over peanuts to save walnuts.
