theyve got some decent deals on their website were you get the box to watch catchup tv for free and a subscription to their netflix type service for so many months but i think they charge a tenner a day to watch sky sports on it

Saw an advert for EE the other night that looked alright. I use a raspberry pi box for all my non terrestrial tele viewing needs. For the price it's hard to find faults with what it can do but it can take some setting up.

I've got one, had it about 2 months now & got rid of virgin. Paid £9.99 for the box & a 3 month free entertainment pass & after the 3 months its only around £7.99 a month for the entertainment package. I was paying over £80 a month with virgin, now with the Now TV box & a new broadband supplier even after the 3 months free, I will still only be paying £25 a month, a massive saving.

Theres a few bunkerites got the sky dodgy box,s.
Got to be the cheapest way to watch any sports channel you want.
Cancel your sky subs after 12 months just subscribe to you £26 a month broadband.
£200 for the box and first year then £70 a year after that.
First year=£512 Then £382 a year after that.

behave £200 plus £70 for the box more like £120 plus £40 per year, any more and you are being ripped off.
if you go on ebay the boxes are going for under a ton

How does that work then? Is it something you can do yourself?

in other words, card sharing.

Sky are changing their security systems soon, so these dodgy boxes may soon be defunct. They've already knocked all the HD channels off, only a matter of time before everything is changed over.

Seems inevitable they'll make an effort to protect their investment by preventing people stealing their product as well as increasing the prices. I stream sport and have noticed the number of streams available is declining. I'd never pay for Sky, I'd rather watch games in the pub and spend the money in there.
