All these so called Kodi box's are NOT kodi box's but are Android box's with a program called kodi that works on them, So should we ban all Android working devices then, which are capable of helping to stream live sports and films.

Slugger calling people Parasites is a bit ott when there's people Bombing Manchester Arena/Running over people on London bridge & Paris bombings & etc NOW they F###ing Parasites killing innocent Kids.

Back to op I hope sky do have a dedicated Rugby league channel you can just pay for instead of all the Nancyball prima donna's, Then I will sign back up no problem.


Up The Trin

I am someone who got fed-up with been ripped off by sky, so went out and bought an "android" box that allowed me to watch sky, BT, and premier sports channels plus many more
After about 12 months, channels started to disappear, until most of what I wanted to watch had gone. The supplier told me sky had encrypted many channels because of illigal receivers and unfortunately the service had come to an end.
I reluctantly had to go back to sky for my sport fix, who incidentally gave me a very good deal as a returning customer.
The sky operator I delt with asked if I had been using another supplier for my service and went on say that sky are actively closing down all illigal streaming of their services or re-ecrypting the signal to confuse pirate transmitters.
She also said that within 12 months prosecutions against the bigger organisations will begin.

It would seem sky are fighting back,so before the new channels are up and running, I think many of these kodi type boxes won't be working anyway.

Any attempt to dishonestly receive pay t.v. programming is Illegal. There is no grey area it is expressly forbidden whichever system you abuse.

It seems most people are now switching from the card sharing to the IPTV system. People always find a way around the blocking/encryption. If Sky charged a reasonable price i would imagine most people would be happy to pay it.

There is a wierd attitude around IP that it has to compete with 'free' as a valid competitor that they dont have for anything else.

I mean you would expect these people wouldn t walk in to Currys and just pick up a tv and walk out with it and then argue it was fine because TVs are too expensive.

Could we not scale up Wigan TV to take in everyone?

you need to try another provider not kodi, they arent just the only product out there.

yes sky sent a signal out to update all the nowtv boxes (Which they are the owners) and wiped off the streaming apps on them, had to buy a new box just not a nowtv one

thats the one



its the companies that stream the content that are targeted and illegal.

"Faulty Comparison

(also known as)

Description: Comparing one thing to another that is really not related, in order to make one thing look more or less desirable than it really is."

I did consider an alternative box, but unfortunately living in Hull we are saddled with one network supplier (Kcom) and very slow Internet.
So anything that relies on streaming just isn't an option, the supplier did suggest an IPTV solution, but until where in the 21st century it's satellite TV only.

I mentioned this before I find it truly incredible that you can watch any PL match everywhere in the world apart from the country in which it is played and you have to pay £40 for the privilege of not picking which game you want to watch.

I lived in the US for 3 years where every game of pro sport is available to watch through local, national or on demand services.

I only get sky sports for RL and NFL. So package based on those would suit me.

So people ditch sky for illegal streams, said company loses subscribers and decides to jettison sport they're not making any money from. Said sport returns to semi-pro status. Said sports players for leave. Said sport ceases to exist.

Streaming has been around for years and will continue to be around no matter what Sky do. Think how many times torrent sites like Pirate Bay have supposedly been closed down. As long as Sky keep on absolutely rinsing people price wise then people will look elsewhere, and there are some significantly cheaper alternatives which are a better product anyway!

If only you were so enthusiastic about the illegal geo engineering activity by the government, going on over your head every single day.

Moving on from promoting usage of illegal viewing, there's a programme on sky 1 now, Rugby's 20 funniest moments..

What's the chances it's only Union clips.
To think this's is our main broadcaster and they let the other sport have this.

And why do you think this situation exists? If Murdoch's gang weren't so intent on robbing people there wouldn't be a problem. The fact that so many people have abandoned Sky is proof that they've had enough of such greed. A reasonable charge and folk will seriously consider coming back to them.

people leave sky to stream... sky have to do something about it.... they lower prices to a reasonable level... streamers come back to sky!

nonsense, i dont own a Bentley, it doesnt mean Bentley are robbing people.

So many people prepared to present themselves as stealing bread from robber barons to feed the homeless when they are just thieves stealing a luxury because they want it.

Presumably you don't own a Bentley because you can't afford one (supposition on my part), but the same argument applies to those people who can't afford Sky's high subscription charges.

Sky "robbing" people, all comes down to the ridiculous deals that Football demand, the result being astronomical prices for everything else.
At least if they extract the football costs form other sport packages, they may be able to offer them at a reasonable rate.
As for illegal streaming, most people will have watched these without paying at some point but if everyone watched for free, Sky wouldn't be able to afford to sponsor certain sports and RL could be near the top of that list.
It's the same as getting into games without paying.

Well, Yes. But thats why i dont have a Bentley, i didnt go and steal one and then blame it Bentley for their prices being to high.

Sky aren't robbing anyone. They offer a subscription service for a price.

There's free to air RL highlights through the BBC together with radio commentary on many matches through the BBC local radio service. You can watch NRL via Premier Sports from £9.99 too.

If you choose to go down the route of 'illegal streaming' then don't try to justify your actions through the 'its too expensive' line, you just want something for nothing.

alot of people have paid for the full package for years.... but when your neighbour is getting the same for free it makes sense
