Have to find a dodgy illegal stream then, they leave us no choice.

Pretty pathetic with how steep the subscription price is!
Sky's answer to all their troubles is to cut content and raise prices. Has been happening forever. I left them for that reason.
Used Kayo for a few years and still would if not for trouble with my vpn/DNS. Back to SKy. What a shitshow
That’s crazy, both 9 and fox have a full day of footy from 8:30am

Isn’t this the way it goes, the premier events (men’s game) demand ever higher prices (and more pay for the players) so the providers need to pick best bang for buck instead of a bit of everything like the old days.
This is pro sport in action. And sky’s cost and coverage isn’t matched by the public’s wallet.
You mean the one I use that gives me every sport in the world for free!

How much do you think the broadcast rights would've cost? Three fifths of fuck all?
There's now a bunch of miffed league fans all over social media chewing Sky out. Yes in the grand scheme of things it's not a massive deal, but it just adds to the feeling of constant penny pinching.
They'll have the Albanian Pro Underwater Hockey tournament live on Sky Sports 9, but presenting a half-baked Vegas despite being the self-proclaimed "home of league".
Sky service has just gotten worse and worse over the years.
When I first signed up many years ago.
Can't remember when.
Their promise was. NO ADVERTISING. IIRC

I was hoping Spark Sport would be it but then everyone either complained about it or didn't embrace it. I suppose at least it forced sky into a streaming service for sport rather than just a set top box
I loved spark sport just cause I was over sky.
I watch a fair bit of premier league with my boys and spark sport was a massive step up with it's on demand content and relative ease of use.

Yeah man and I thought the streaming quality was great especially considering they just starting out.
Watched alot of cricket with them
Essentially the pay tv model was to negate the need for ads, shit thing now is with streaming services introducing ads
A lot of the streaming services are struggling to turn a profit and seem to repeating or going in a similar way as the cable companies they were replacing.
Prices increasing. Ad tiers.

Another thing Sky has done recently is remove or schedule to remove (I can't recall the exact date) the on demand from the older black box. It wasn't something I used much anyway besides occasionally getting a full season of a TV show.
I decided to upgrade to the new box. I went with the box instead of the pod as I wanted the option to record. Mainly the NRL and mainly the Warriors games if we win. So, the extra space is nice.
The last time it rained I got rain fade. So, during winter I was expecting the usual switch over to casting SkyGo when it rains. A few weeks later I got an email how the new box switches over to broadband if the connection to the satellite is gone.

Hey man, I agree.
Really depends what the rights holders wanted. Remember the context sky is so broke they are prepared to give away union and the All Black and have reduced their bid for the rights.
As more people get fed up with sky and leave the content will go down in a death spiral.
