    Indeed.
    I'll leave you to ponder that while continuing to pay £44 a month to watch TV on your X-Box.

    The best options have been presented to you. And make sense too. As all in you'll actually save money, not increase it. You need to change. And you won't be subsidising anything your parents watch. Not that I'm saying you've come across like a tight git or anything.

    lol your parents give you everything you need for at least the 1st 16 years of your life, let you live in their house at a reduced rent compared to real world...why should they benefit from something you buy for a change...your got a a xbox football is available on XBMC but as all illegal streams theres no guarantee to watch the whole match in HD quality..

    phone sky and do a deal for a new customer they could do a nice deal for a muiti room full package..

    I mean c'mon... Parents give absolutely nothing to their children.

    Apart from -

    The pain of childbirth, nurturing as both a baby and a toddler. A safe pair of comforting arms in time of nightmares, stress or need. Decent food. Holidays. Clothes. Toys. A safe environment with a roof over your head. Schooling, life skills and values.

    Apart from that, WHAT have your parents ever done for you?

    If you're worried about your parents getting free TV :undecided just have it all installed in your room.


    I think the cost for the sports set up is pretty much what you're paying now

    I just can't believe there isn't a simpler solution to all of this.

    because they give you free board and lodgings idiot!

    For the record, I pay for my "lodgings" thank you very much.

    Thanks to those who have given genuine and insightful answers without sounding completely patronising.

    Very generous of you.

    I wonder do they "subsidise" your rent though?
    Surely that's (in your own words) "madness"?:eek:

    If broadband is unlimited, Google "live football free streaming" and watch on your laptop. It's totally free.
