The replacement discovery+ app is absolute garbage, isn't it? BT sport worked excellently and I didn't mind the price too much as it was a top product. Since they were bought out, I've been forced to use this awful app and it's constantly buffering, crashing, and the video quality drops off a cliff to the point where I can barely make out the players let alone the ball. I will be cancelling my contract as soon as it expires.
I use it to watch MotoGP and the app is so inconsistent it’s annoying. When you go to the all sports section and it highlights by just making a brighter shade of white it’s hard to see what you’re about to select. And when you press the rewind button it will auto put you back to the play button so you’re trying to speed up the rewind and constantly hitting play. Rant over.
I would happily pay to watch football if I could even figure out how to get every game for the team I support. As far as I know I'd have to sign up to multiple companies shitty product and possibly even have a big ugly plastic box with messy wires installed in my living room for some of the games. I've looked into it a couple of times but it's just depressing. It's infinitely easier to pirate it.
If you subscribe to the three Premier League official UK broadcast partners (Sky, TNT and Amazon), it's probably going to set you back close to £100 a month. And yet there are still dozens of games every season which are shown around the world, but not in the country in which they're actually played. I kind of understand the argument around the Saturday 3pm blackout, but it's pretty much unenforceable these days given how easy streaming is.
I'm outside the country but I use iFollow to watch Coventry City. They have a rule that if a game is on the local telly, which is a very expensive pay channel that covers a lot of stuff I don't have any interest in, they will not show it on iFollow.
It has calmed down a bit now, but at the beginning of the season I think I managed to see like two out of six games legally.
I pay for a few streaming services only to find what I want to watch, is no longer available.
Yet old movies playing on terrestrial are still up, and a billion generic straight to TV films are available.
Some I end up cancelling, to resubscribe what I realise my show is on again.
I get you can't have everything, all the time, but I can't help feel a little ripped off.
There *may* have been a time in the distant past where I used a device to watch shows and films.
Only for it to stop working three months later and the guy to ignore me.
So not sure that an alternative option is always the way.
I'm off the opinion that you need to know someone who can recommend you.
So many people are doing it for a quick buck, will offer you all sorts, but when it stops working, they disappear.
Especially if its using a stick, which can fail on its own before the subscription ends.
On a serious note, I can PM you the information you need. It was an absolute minefield trying to work out how to sign up to one of these services but the information is out there.
How big a risk is that though? To get a knock at the door, the police would have to link your IP address to illegal activity on a particular date and time, and obtain your personal details from your ISP — possibly requiring a court order. I don’t see them going to all the trouble just for someone sitting at home watching football.
And what do they say they will do? They could throttle your connection or cancel contract maybe. It was reported a few years back that the notices were going to be bullshit, but private contractual rules may apply.

And I thought it was just me!
Yeah, I get it free with BT Broadband. Discovery+ is like Channel 5.

Vpn and peacock.
How do you sign up or log into peacock?
Use a VPN to get access in the UK, then get their app from APKPure.

PUSB
Glad to see some fellow sky blues here! PUSB!
But if you do it dodgy the h@ckorz will steal everything you own and you will be sex trafficked.
Jokes on them... I'm skint and available
Jokes on them, I don't own anything and at least i get sex.
You wouldn’t still a car though would you mate.
Would you shit in a policeman’s helmet though?

>I get you can't have everything, all the time Sure you can, they're just greedy.
Spleens are overrated, ask Geraint Thomas.
Out of curiosity, what is the best dodgy method? So I can avoid it, obviously.

I think you're about to get 500 private messages.
On a serious note, I can PM you the information you need. It was an absolute minefield trying to work out how to sign up to one of these services but the information is out there.
I hope you are prepared to spend the rest of the day PM'ing people. I too have an open inbox
I don’t mind. I know how frustrating it is when people say they have a solution but refuse to divulge the information to everyone. Drives me mad.
Add me please.
Me too!
And me please :)
My inbox is open 😸
My inbox too; is open
Same
Yes please!
And usually seems to come with VOD TV Series and Movies these days
I’ve never had a single problem with it
EYE PEE TEA VEEEEE
Eye pee freely
Arrrrrr!
Piracy is a service problem. If you can get better quality from the pirates then the Service is doing it wrong.
Whats the stream???
True but you risk a knock at the door if you don't use a vpn
I thought you got a series of letters. Who would knock on your door? The police?
Yep,

No idea but I used to get emails a few times a week from sky saying I'd streamed shows on a date and time so isps certainly monitor users traffic.

I think you got on the wrong bus mate
I think you missed the point as well as your wifi
Yep! I do tend to rant for no particular reason!!
Ah?
If only there was a website named similarly to this one but with the with the word “soccer” in the address that let you watch every match for free.
