I use a VPN, and a lot of programmes are available online on the US Channels’ websites (I use my bro-in-law’s HBO account for some programmes).

Amazon Sets $20-A-Year Price Hike For Prime As Its Q4 Results Cheer Investors
https://deadline.com/2022/02/amazon-...gs-1234926316/

I assume it will increase to £99 in the UK

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

They have to be very careful increasing by that here especially with the way other household bills are set to rise.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

I said it was coming Timelord has confirmed it with the link he posted.
You can be sure the UK price rise is on it's way in due course and will be a similar price raise.
As MM said they need to be careful with how living costs are rising.
Other streamers need to be careful too on their price rises, as do the likes of vm, sky etc.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

So, first they just announce they are making as much money as expected, then they need to increase prices. :td:

I get prime for one month a year (to cover Christmas) but tbh, the more they put it up, the less even that looks a good deal anymore.

As one commenter noted ;

Hasn't stopped VM.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

Or BT

Although to be fair BT Home Essentials, BT Home Phone Saver and BT Basic aren't increasing.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

Now that prime has moved a lot of its TV output to advert infested IMDB.TV it's looking even poorer value.

DAZN blown out of the water by Discovery in the bid for BT Sports.

The article I read in the Telegraph, suggested DAZN continually raised conditions as each was resolved they raised another.

The main stumbling block may well have been DAZN wanting BT to underwrite any customer cancellations after the deal (which BT refused outright)

Still a nail in the streamer coffin OB;)

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

I’m still struggling to believe how this streaming world is anymore beneficial to the companies , we have a couple we sub to all year then the others we just dip in and out of as and when.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

Same here I sub to Netflix and Prime, anything else I watch via the CinemaHD app or Kodi, I'm certainly not paying for every service.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

Same here MM.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

Isnt this the third rebrand in 2 years?

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

Yes I think It is , the new name probably will be something with the word "Free" in it.
