I'm in the "including sports" category so am ploughing in even more money.
After its initial years of being very much a third class service due to its many technical faults imho Now TV is emerging as the best streamer we have on these shores.
For £30 a month I get sports, entertainment and movies with them and if I so wished I could share that cost with two other people.
For another £5 a month (added to my mobile phone bill) I also get TNT Sports and Discovery+ to add to this.
Of course it remains to be seen if these US owned but UK based companies carry on treating our market differently to the US or they eventually follow the American streamer model of "hook 'em in then raise the price"!
Even though it was only 30 quid for the year I feel a bit of a sucker paying for Paramount+ then finding many of the programs I was interested in being withdrawn with no notice,
USEing the NET I replaced all of their now missing shows in short order but many people don't have options like that and given the way these US mega corporations treat us I may well end up using this distribution method much more than I have for the past few years.
