It's a shame as i used to pick up 2 month passes for ~£3 there every so often but now it's just full of much more expensive listings of NowTV Boxes/sticks with the passes.

Ahh okay, thanks.

How about Amazon, do Sky monitor that?

Can I ask where people in this thread buy their cheap passes from?

Perhaps he could sell a poem he's written for x pounds and send it over the internet with a free Now TV pass! Would be like the days when shops could sell fruit but not furniture on a Sunday, so the furniture shops would sell an orange for £499 and throw in a 3 piece suite for free

Project Kangaroo to be resurrected?

Not sure i'd be willing to pay for another streaming service unless the licence fee was abolished.
They're annoyed it was blocked originally, don't blame them considering the offerings available now.

I think it's a sensible idea. Could be a version with advertising or a premium version without. May have more appeal overseas where they don't have our PSBs, catch-up services and UKTV.

Good lateral thinking but I suspect the Amazon bot would find it before e potential buyer does!

This is definitely the way to go. This has the potential to help our terrestrials to remain viable in the longer term.

I am sure there would be a 'free with commercials' option available.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

And how many are going to pay for the no commerci option when it's all available to record on linear.

The BBC don't have commercials

Not at all, Den. The streaming services seem to be a lot cheaper than pay channels and have better content.

I am not sure at this stage how the costs would work out for sports fans, though. Eleven Sports seems to be a bit pricey to me. We really need players like Amazon to come on the scene - this is what I have been waiting for.

Not sure how much Eleven Sports is - perhaps you could enlighten me?

Fox are offering streaming of every NRL game at over £20pm - way too high in my opinion, especially when 2 or 3 games are live on Sky each week.

If that is a typical price for streaming it will not take off imho

TV without commercials appeals to many. Even having to fast forward them is a nuisance I could do without.

Don't forget that we are in the beginning of a transitional period. The BBC is working on the assumption that when the next licence fee is reviewed, the current method of broadcasting channels will be phasing out and all their content will be streamed/on demand. At that point, the licence fee is likely to be scrapped in favour of a subscription and so all the participating channels on the Kangaroo type service will get a cut of the subscription fee.

The one concern I have is that we will be reliant on the broadcasters to determine the length of time that content will be displayed. I rather like the flexibility to view it at my leisure, up to about 18 months ahead. If they place the same kind of timelines as Now TV do, this will make juggling our viewing rather more difficult.

Actually, it's not as bad as I thought, sorry. A subscription to Eleven Sports costs about a tenner per month in Belgium, but they get three sport channels for that.

However, it's still costing people more than before as Sky doesn't seem to be reducing their prices to reflect the loss of choice.

SKY won't do that. They'll just highlight that whilst they've lost La Liga they'll be showing more live football than ever before thanks to the UEFA Nations League and improved coverage of the English Football League from next year. They'll also play on the fact SKY customers can tailor their SKY Sports package. They know how to massage these things

Looks like it's going to be DAZN. Never heard of them myself but being described as the Netflix of sport.
