As stated a dream box only job.
Got one last year and can record pause etc all same as sky plus even looks the same.
Down side no HD. Plus side after about a 150/200 outlay it will cost about 30 quid a year for all the channels. Including box office Etc.
Of course this is illegal well I think it for the guys that sell the subs etc the boxes themselves are basically a digital receiver and are perfectly legal

Why not try and negotiate with sky, I do every year, its a bit of a drag but I have sky tv, movies, sports, HD and multiroom for 30% of what your currently paying albeit they don't provide my phone or broadband.

Thanks for all the help folks :thup:
I've gone for a Firestick and downloaded the Kodi app. Loads of films and also plenty of sport although in low res. Seems I can download the nowtv app into the firestick as well which would give me the option of buying a pass for big events (Ryder Cup etc) to get better quality.
Also signed up for a month's trial with Amazon Prime and will also compare content with Netflix to see if they are worth signing up for as well.
Looks like I will be binning my £120pm Sky subscription pretty soon

I always found Netflix to have far greater content but I've cancelled both a long time ago. If you get the right add-ons installed on Kodi than there's no need to have either as you can find near enough any TV series/movie in HD quality. I've also got a paid for sports subscription on there that gives me all the sports in decent quality.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Dumped sky just over a month ago, bought another er tv entertainment system box 😜. Anyway Missis T cancelled Sky and had one of two phone calls about " please don't go". Eventually we told them that £85 a month was too much. Earlier this week we got a letter offering us 60% off our bill for a year if we stay. We haven't. Use that figure as a yard stick. Further more, when you leave sky, they ask you to fill in a questionnaire in which they admit that the offers they er offer to new subscribers bogs off valued long term customers. You can use that as wellðŸ‘

If you have kodi now have a look at sportsmania - all sports channels you can imagine in HD - I pay 26quid for 6 months

I am going to try Sportsmania. I have Kodi downloaded to my PC. I assume I need to subscribe / join Sportsmania before trying to load it onto Kodi, is that correct?
I am intending to get the 12 month ticket, but thought I would try a weekly one first to make sure it all works.

OK, I have got Kodi and joined Sportsmania on a 3 month ticket for now.
Plenty football on there and I tried it last night and worked OK (bit buffering but I have a lousy Broadband anyway).
Couldn't see any golf available anywhere, thought the Tour Championship might have been there.
Anyone know if Ryder Cup will be on Sportsmania?

Its being broadcast on sky sports 1, so should be available through sportsmania.

Sky sports 4 plus The Golf channel are on Sportsmania. Also, if your broadband speed is poor then try a wired connection, if not then stick to SD links

Got a little confused.
Went through kodi and could only find limited sports.
Then went into the Sportsmania website, logged in and went to streams page and found something called Elite Subscription which said it was active. Clicked on that and there were all the Sky Sports Channels. Clicked on the footy and it played via the website without the need for Kodi.
My question is, what is this Elite Subscription, is that what I signed up for when I paid my £17. Nothing explained very well on the Sportsmania website?
Concerned I may have gone into some pay per view thing without knowing.
Sorry I am a bit thick when it comes to this sort of thing.
