I know you struggle with the concept people get value from Sky or Virgin Media over streamers, which I believed was down to your poor judgement, but I stand corrected if it’s caused by failing eyesight.
H'mm. Interesting play.

I have acknowledged in previous posts that sport is expensive and my assertion that streamers are better value clearly does not cover that. However, I remain convinced that prices for sport will come down over time, once the Sky/BT stranglehold on the footie is breached.

I have no problem whatsoever in understanding the value people get from Sky and VM. What I am saying is that the streamers are better value. Sport excepted, of course, we don't disagree on that.

While we have both the streamers and the TV channels, I agree, but once we can get everything we want from the streamers, many of us won't be bothering at all with the TV channels. They are just too expensive and inflexible.
