Yeah tell me about it. I just hope they keep it restricted to sky channels
What's this about?
There's dodgy sky boxes that you plug you satellite dish into like a standard sky box and it uses the Internet to unscramble the channels. Usually come at a one off cost of about a ton or so and then a yearly subscription to who you got it from.

Sky have recently figured out a way to black channels out.

I always cancelled over the phone and they then pass you over to "The Closer" and they fall over backwards to get you to renew. I ended up with all the movie and sport chanels with Superfast Broadband for 20 quid a month. Just research the other companies "key offers" and use them to your advantage, because thats all they have to go on for a pricing structure.
Beware though, your line rental usually increases after 3 months due to "a price rise in delivery costs"
£20 a month for all the TV channels and superfast broadband on Sky? Sounds a bit fanciful to me

glad about that. Hope all these other products can somehow be 'neutralised '. Why should sky invest money into filming and broadcasting sport so someone else makes money on it? If everyone did it the sky model would collapse. Watching sky sports is not a right.

Hope the law changes soon to stop all these folks selling products to get sky for free.

Vastly overpriced product which is driving the cost of following sport upwards and upwards, not just to watch on tv but in ticket sales etc too. Making it unaffordable to many. So that a multi billionaire can make more money.

What a disaster that would be.

Same principle would be forging tickets to get into events for free.

Can't afford a cd: then pirate it.who cares if the band loses out. Blondie have a new cd out. I will wait for price to drop in hmv, or not buy it.

It's called stealing, isn't it?

As long as you do your research on the current offers from the other providers you can bat them down to nearly nothing. The phone people are paid to keep customers and they don't need to show a profit or loss, just a subscriber.

Vodafone used to call theirs the customer retention team and BT had the disconnections team, their jobs were to keep customers so offer discounts and freebies.
Every year i would do it with vodafone until they finally called my bluff :grin:

Well no. It's not the same. Because if tons of people forged tickets to get in an event for free then people would end up hurt or dead.

Would be pretty certain the answer is no, but seen something very similar on Twitter with data for this. It was for MVG and Snakebite collectively on tour this year.

Will find and post.
Found it.
