I got an half-price offer for twelve months when I cancelled before the trial ended.

You need to compare that with what you’re paying for all those TV channels you don’t watch.

Have you scrapped pay TV and gone streaming only now?

I take your point, but if I cancelled TV it would cost more because of the deal that i"m on, everyone chooses the solution that's best for them.

By the looks of it you get 2 months free ITV if you pay annually.

I have been streaming only (except for the news) for a couple of years now, but I’ve always resented paying for the channels because I don’t watch them.

Finally I got myself a deal which is similar to Virgin Flex. The difference is that I retain my existing two boxes so I can still record as well (if I wanted to). I’ve ditched Sky Cinema because their films seem to be those the streamers rejected in the main and I don’t have Sky Sports because neither I nor my wife watch anything to do with sport.

I’m reasonably happy with the deal I’ve got, but if I move house, I’ll be on Virgin Flex if I’m still in a cabled area and I will just pay for the box.

There are some very good deals for HBO with Now TV.

The standard price for the Entertainment pack was £9.99, but will go down to £6.99 (including Sky Atlantic.)

Last offer I saw was £2.99 a month.

£6.99 is a 6 month contract though and it's basic with ads, the tier seems designed for Sky considering new Warner Bros movies will be still appear on Sky Cinema aswell

The standard with ads tier direct is £5.99 on a 30 day rolling contract.

Also bear in mind current/newer HBO Original series are still on Sky channels aswell as new seasons of any.

Updated to 360 on Friday - it took a couple of attempts to successfully update. Other half happy as all episodes of Randall and Hopkirk deceased added to wish list! Step daughter now has a mini box rather than the old Tivo box - which suits her as she streams rather than records.

And bonus email saying bill will be reduced slightly as I’m no longer being charged the TiVo monthly fee - wasn’t fussed about that in the past as I’ve always had a good overall discount.

So as far as I’m concerned it’s all pros and no cons so far!! :)

Still failing so see any advantage, for me. I do keep looking and it looks like another short term solution, before moving to streaming only , question if there would be any advantage to even bothering to do this via them:confused:

With ads? That’s a no-no for me.

It is only those programmes that Sky is already contracted for the rights to broadcast. Anything outside the contract will not be on Sky. The Pitt is the first example.
