| I do it every year. I phone Sky and tell them I'm cancelling and switching to BT Vision because I have BT phone & broadband, so I may as well just pay one bill. They always come back with a 50% discount.
I then phone BT and tell them I'm switching my broadband and phone to Sky and they give me 33% discount. Thankfully the chimps employed in BT's call centres seem unaware that Wincanton's phone system is incapable of handling Sky phone & broadband

| Quote ="clubfoot fc"I got rid of sky earlier on in the year and bought a small desktop pc to link upto my tv
I subscribe to foxsoccer2go.com and overplay smart dns service it costs me around £15 per month and has all sky super league games and at least 2 nrl games live each week. each game they show is available on demand too. it also has champions league europa league amongst other stuff. for rugby its the eddie and stevo etc commentating and usual nrl commentators'"
How much is your internet per month?, if you're streaming from the internet, it must 'eat' your usage allowance.

| I didn't get rid of Sky because I couldn't afford it, I got rid because I despise Rupert Murdoch and all he stands for. The thought of increasing his wealth, however minimally, just didn't sit right.

| as others have said the smart dns is needed to view the site
as for billing address I used admcsports last year for premier league games and will most likely re activate my al jazeera sports account for for next season not once have i had any issues
smart dns works on pretty much any device from tablets to smart tvs but it only works from 1 connection at a time.
all of the services I have used have had mobile apps too
Assuming next years prices are the same as this year and as rumoured al jazeera get premier league rights,
for under £20 per month I'll have access to all sky sl games at least 2 nrl games a week, all 380 premier league games all champions league england games and all from official high quality streams with english commentary.

Neither Sky Nor Hull FC shirts are something you are forced to buy.

Do you shoplift your food instead of buying it too?
Because there's little difference in what you are suggesting. "Free sky sports" is only free to you because you are gaming the system but it's the rest of the subscribers who are subsidising your dishonesty

Complete rubbish, his relative is subsidising it not you, your paying for your own subcription.
The bill payer pays to be able to register their account on a set number of devices, it's up to them which devices the choose.

And who gives a sh*t anyway? Murdoch seems to think he can get away with breaking as many laws as he likes and trying to govern the country by proxy. If someone gets one over on him from time to time, good on them, I say.

| To be fair, Murdoch owns a relatively small amount of sky. News Corp own about 39% of BSKYB and Murdoch holds about 12% of News Corp.

However much he might own, he has great influence within both organisations.
Not sure there's even an issue, anyway. Under the SkyGo terms and conditions, provision is made for 'additional users'. As long as you don't exceed your number of devices, I can't see a problem with one of those users living in another house.

There is an offence under the copyright and patents act of dishonest reception of a broadcast with intent to avoid payment.
The fact someone else, somewhere else is paying correctly isn’t a defence for you.
Im not a solicitor or sky though so im not saying you are going to prison or anything, just the principle isn’t just breach of contract.

It is if they're not exceeding their number of devices, I would have thought.
For example, if my father chooses my laptop as one of his devices so that he may watch Sky when he stays at my house (which he does fairly regularly), I don't think there's any way Sky can say that the content may only be viewed if my father is present. How would they prove it anyway?
