anyone gone the now tv route for sports ?

vm have disappointed me in our latest negotiations so i'm looking at my options, one of which is cancelling sky sports

i've had a look at the listings and, honestly, there isnt too much i'd miss, certainly over the next couple of months

i'm thinking of a week pass for the ryder cup and the odd day pass for the odd match i wouldn't want to miss

how is the reliability these days, do you have trouble if its oversubscribed or anything like that ? i'd likely be watching through the native app on my PS4 with a wired internet connection so that shouldn't be an issue

any thoughts gratefully received

Yes, I'm busy setting up alternatives to VM for when my contract ends. Hasn't cost me a penny yet and have already had two weeks free sky cinema (live channels and on demand) and got some free 24 hour sports passes, has a months free entertainment included too. Sky sports is 720p on your PS4. Not had any of the stuttering or random errors or other problems I'm used to with Virgin On Demand.

Thanks for posting but the link doesn't seem to allow registration- it says that the offer has already been registered. Perhaps it is only a customer specific offer?

Yes that's what I was thinking when I clicked on the link. I've checked the virgin website and not found anything about the offer

No surprise that Gary Neville rejoins Sky Sports as he found management much harder then he thought it would be.

Uefa expected to auction Champions League rights in the Autmn
 
"Although BT has only completed one season into its three-year, £897m deal for exclusive rights to all live European club football, Uefa is expected to put the Champions League and Europa League on the block again in autumn."
"There is also speculation that a new Champions League structure, together with increased competition in other European countries, could mean the UK rights are not sold first this time around."
