The Current State of Streaming

[Connor]

70 quid a year for IPTV, magic

Yeah, it's mad. we refuse to pay for more than one, so we have Netflix and i just torrent everything else.

I'd happily pay £20-330 or so, to cover them all (and i'd sack off 'illegally downloading' but there is no option at all. I used to torrent music but stopped now i have Spotify (obv another argument to be had there)

I feel sorry for people that don't watch things 'illegally', it must cost a fortune. luckily i don't really care about sport enough to pay for it too,, just watch whatever is on freeview

I also have Mubi actually, which is worth way more than they charge. A fantastic film streaming site.

Indeed, we pay for Netflix, but the whole family has the log in, so im only paying for them, once Netflix stops others using the account im cancelling. We pay for Virgin TV, but thats cos the wife likes to record, it annoys me deeply, but its her money. My daughter pays for Spotify.

Everything else I torrent and just recently got a "firestick", although im only using that for football atm.

I have no prostate issues so it's always a good, steady flow.

Normally more competition in an industry benefits the consumer

That's what they want us to believe ...

I'm sort of retired and I hardly watch council telly never mind the streaming service.
Watch the footy mostly on sky bt or the 3 o'clocks on a firestick.
Must be an age thing....

Hearing the sport/football via firestick. Which apps ideally loaded on there? Id love to get F1 this season, but not subscribing to sky.

Spotify
Deezer
Apple music
Amazon music
Amazon prime tv
Now TV
Apple TV
Netflix
Disney+
YouTube!

And that’s just some, and just music and video..

Add sports stuff,

Then there’s news, to get really good well researched articles with great context, you have to pay!

 

[Infernus]

Buy physical media

Streaming is basically cable all over again, it's been the worst possible outcome

Maybe turn your telly off now and then. Get out and enjoy the countryside.

How about you don't make assumptions of people you know nothing about.

What is Crunchyroll?

It's Netflix for anime

IPTV is just unreal at the minute and has been for a few years. Every 3pm in the premier league, championship and beyond. Every channel imaginable and then there's the PPV fights etc alot of which I wouldn't be interested in but for free I'll take a gander.

Yeah I use it for football, got a good service.

It's not great for TV and film, new releases are good but older shows they don't have everything (understandable it's got to hosted on a server somewere they won't waste it on low demand stuff)

Pornhub is on its arse now everyone is on Only Fans.
