I’m astounded by the fact that so many people are stillll buying services such as Sky and feeling obliged to bolt an ugly big dish to the side of their houses. With FTTP fibre internet becoming near ubiquitous, there’s simply no need to lock yourself into a service. If you have a decent 100meg + service, the route to go is via App.
In recent years Now TV was always a tempting choice for the sports fan. Turn it on and off month by month. In the summer when the footballs not on, save yourself a packet. The issue holding it back was always reduced quality both in terms of sound and vision. All this has changed in recent months with the introduction of the new ultra boost packages.
So now you have two choices:
- Buy Sky Q/Stream – and be locked into an echo system where you have cables , dishes and are locked into multi year contacts.
- Buy NowTV, add the ultra boost , and for £35pcm(for Sky Sports) you have the same 4K, Atmos enabled service.
And what do you need to spend? Well any device that can run Now TV app, so SMART TV or such and you are off to the races. Even better – get yourself an Apple TV or Nvidia shield and allow hook up to sound systems etc. Want service in the kids bedroom- no bother, fire in a Smart TV or a fire stick. All this is legit, tested and incredibly simple.
Going away on holiday? – cancel the service for the month
Need to add a TV – no extra charge. It’s really win win.
