| 1400699 | 2015-05-14 09:28:00 | I'm another that only has sky for the sport coverage. I'm waiting for the day that they release a "sport" only package so I don't have to pay for the half dozen reality tv channels that I don't watch | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||

| 1400701 | 2015-05-14 20:09:00 | Yes actually you do, a decoder and a TV with the correct ports to connect it to. It's called a TV guide and also the list of recorded shows on your sky device, not really that different. I will point out you could buy a new Blu-ray player (samsung models with smart hub or a sony PS3 work well)with support for netflix and lightbox and subscribe to both services and still spend less in a 6 month period than a full price sky subscription. Driving either via remote is no harder than using mysky and setting them up initially is no great hardship. Then you get a device that can play Blu-rays as well and maybe even games and is yours to keep. AV ports. TV Guide, hmm, but you don't need to read it...just change channel. Why subscribe to Netflix....all I see with these services is fiction. Not into fiction...I read for entertainment. We like the docos.....and I really don't want to scroll through lists then download. As for Blu-rays, don't watch movies - I've said. |

| 1400702 | 2015-05-14 23:00:00 | Hmmm... I don't watch movies either pctek. However, most of the docos I watch I stream from Youtube my PS3. Seems to be an unending supply on there. Just type in something like "Horizon" or "BBC Doco's" and the list goes on forever. Being a little more specific gives better results, say like "Quantum Mechanics" or "Brain surgery for beginners" :) Ken |

I am not buying another just to plug things into it. Youtube....hmm...yes I did notice they had the Pain, Pus and Poison episodes on there .... I shall keep that idea anyway....eventually we will all be watching TV this way I think...TV as we know it will cease to exist eventually. |

| 1400707 | 2015-05-16 22:16:00 | Scheduled TV is a joke nowadays anyway... Sky or even free... The technology exists for on-demand content, everyone should be using it. Why else do so many people have VCRs, DVRs, TiVos etc as well? |

Last night's viewing for me was Coro Street (12 hours old, not 2 years), Britain Has Talent (days old, not 4 weeks), and Netflix (USA version). :thumbs: |
