  • Yamis,

    NFL Game Pass

    (waiting to see if it will be free again this year).

    Good man. :) I've got my fingers crossed because I probably can't justify paying for it when I get 2-3 games a week on SKY anyway. I did enjoy it, but it's a relatively short season (17 week reg season) so if you miss a few weeks for being away on hol or other reasons then it would get a bit pricey.

    I suspect it won't be free and last year was 'sponsored' by somebody. I have tried googling to find out why it was free but to no avail.

    I can't ditch SKY because my daughter watches the cartoons channels and we watch a little of the other channels.

    But looking at that, Sky sport (without the rugby channel) is 26.45 a month, that's 6.10 a week which is a pittance (40 cents an hour over 15 hours) for how much I watch and how convenient it is.

    It's the 46.92 for the basic package that I have more of a problem with.

    I don't see how it costs them that amount per person a month to acquire the rights to 15 year old episodes of fuzzy documentaries, odd-ball cartoons, and low budget cooking shows etc.

  • FletcherB,

    I have absolutely no reason to believe that watching nearly any televised sport you can dream of at www.sportslemon.com frequently in a multitude of languages could possibly be illegal… I mean you’re “paying” for it by ignoring all the sports-betting pop-ups, right?

    Note: that website has lots of pop-up annoyances and messages to download stuff (frequently advising you don’t have the right playback codec) that may not be entirely healthy for your computer…. handle with extreme care.

    I use it for Formula 1.

  • Hadyn Green, in reply to Yamis,

    so if you miss a few weeks for being away on hol or other reasons then it would get a bit pricey.

    That's the genius of on demand, you never miss games :) Plus I have a team that I support so there's a reasonable chance those two games a week on Sky (both the nationally televised games which tend to only feature "big" teams) won't be the game I want to watch.
