[flashgordon1952]

well looks it will not be long before i go dishless probably sometime next week having the odd problem of losing signal due to weather ( again) . Wind and rain I wonder how many people are useing the new dish less system now and how they are getting on with it . One year on

Is that the streaming box? I’ve wondered about that as my Now TV is around £40pm with Sports included. The only snag is the slowness to swap channels, nothing like flicking from one to next.

I'm a Now TV user and am a fan as unlike NP above am not really a channel flicker. You can get some pretty special deals at times if you threaten to cancel.

Just remember you can't record any of the programs, so unless the program you want to watch is available on demand, you have to be there at the specific time it is on. (You would be surprised just how many programs are not available OnDemand)

Not strictly true. Stream/Glass has a playlist function that allows you to essentially bookmark programmes from the EPG to watch later.

There are a few restrictions to what can be added to the playlist due to licensing issues as highlighted in the Sky help article

Not a fan of NOW TV myself find it a waste of money ! As far as Sky Streaming is concerned , it is the future of Sky TV not the Dish system, which we all know can be affected by rain and winds ,fitted on to a wall of a property. For that reason mine is at ground level about 4 ft on a concrete post. You can still get transmissions even there. . Hard rain or gets knock by a object ( which happened to me ) I think i stick with the old Dish for now

Depends on needs and wants. No contract needed and when I had it direct I dipped in and out depending on their offering at any given time.

Now have it via EETV @£12pm . Gives me a 4k 2TB box plus a mini in another room, Netflix HD w ads and Now Entertainment in 720p. I could boost Now to HD but won’t bother.

I’ve no interest in Sports and would meet my Cinema needs elsewhere, so it works for me.

My brother pays Sky £120pm, excluding his BB and phone. For Fibre 900, the TV, and 2 24Gb phones our total is £96pm. But I do buy films on disc and to stream so 🤷🏼
