On dialup 1p a minute then a free service that was hard to connect to then I moved to £10 a month dialup and then finally 600K Cambridge cable before NTL bought it.

Something I've never had with Disney+.

Just cancelled Netflix as im not going to pay £18 a month for something I hardly use, I really need to do this with Virgin TV too but the stress of phoning up is too much for me! Lol 1 day I'll figure out how it's done via WhatsApp as I have no idea.

In the end l ended up using the LG TV app and there was no problem at all.

Sounds like it could be an implementation issue on Virgin’s part. Performance can differ across different devices - I used to get problems on Prime TV on the TV app while the Amazon Firestick was fine. Prime TV on Samsung is much more robust now. Oddly it’s iPlayer that’s now buggy. It can suffer from awful ghosting if it’s not the first app you use after restarting the TV.

I'm going to be cancelling most of my streamer subscriptions and returning to the high seas.
Netflix is not worth £18 a month to me, I do not need 4 streams at the same time but have to pay that ridiculous amount to get 4k and HDR/Dolby Vision, if anyone at Netflix reads this you need a plan at a more reasonable cost that includes 4k!
I will also be cancelling Disney+ when my year is up, the price rise is too much for the use I get out of it.
I have just cancelled Paramount+ as the annual cost has doubled and there is no way to switch to a monthly plan.
As much as I hate praising Apple I shall probably keep ATV+ going when my free 6 months via EE expires, I think I get more use from this service than the others combined and think its a steal at £6:99 a month.

I pay for Amazon Prime but may cancel that next year if I decide free shipping is not worth it as I can use my MS 365 sub for Photos instead. I have a 6 month free trial for om my Playstation 5 for Apple TV, I've already cancelled that from billing me.

Just ordered a new TV QLED 55QN95C which is very close to the best oleds without the worry of burn in and other annoying issues they have so hoping things will still look awesome on it if I just use my BeeTV app which gets me 1080p upscaled as it currently looks great on my old 49KS9000 TV.

DAZN and Sky will again share the rights to Italian top-flight football, each securing packages equivalent to their current holding.

Clubs voted by a majority of 17 in favour to accept the offer worth a combined €900 million a year for the TV rights from the 2024/25 season through until 2028/29. However, this is lower than the €927 million of the previous contract and follows a period when the League had considered establishing its own channel.

That’s quite the drop.

An extra year, high amounts of inflation and still coming up with less cash.

Since I ended my virgin account, then changed it to my wife's name and bank account, paying £15 a month for 6 months then £33 after for 250 BB, I signed up to Sky Stream, which is £25 a month for 3 months for SKY Entertainment TV and Sky Cinema, plus Netfix Premium for £8 extra, then £50 a month until 24 months is up, which includes UHD, no Advert's too.
Also, with Sky I get Paramount+, Discovery+, and apple+, (for 6 months) for free, I have a Lloyds bank account that gives me Disney+ for free.

I was paying £100 for Virgin TV and Sky cinema and also paying for the above streaming services separately.
I'm very happy with my new set up.
The picture on Sky Stream is amazing, Great TV channels look like HD.
