BT Sport tempts me to stream illegally

I like to buy designer clothes. But they're so expensive. I've tried Gucci, Armani and Prada and still they want thousands for a bespoke piece. It's ludicrous.

It's far easier for me to just thieve them.

It's not like that at all. I am paying for BT Sport, but it's easier to watch a copied stream than actually using BT Sport itself. It's not about expense at all, but rather the ease of using the service that I'm paying for.

So in that sense I'd be paying for BT Sport, not using it, and then getting it illegally. I don't have qualms about doing that morally, because I am getting the service I'm paying for.

To all the others, I'm glad to hear it's just me that's having problems. Once the stream is up and running it's fine - it's getting to start that's the problem.

How much do you pay for BT Sport ?

I get BT Sport for free on the interweb. It costs on the telly, but not online.

Ditto. Free BT Sports (via website or app) for having BT Infinity.

A|s the Op says he is paying i was wondering what the rate is for those that have to pay .

I suppose technically it's not 'free' as you're paying for it via your contract with them anyway. But there's no additional charge for BT Sport online or app for existing BT customers AFAIK. Only if you want the channels on your tellybox.

Perhaps OP is not a BT customer. You can buy it as a separate thing I think if you're, say, a Sky customer.

ETA. Costs £13.50 a month for Sky customers.

I don't have BT on the telly as freeview more than meets my needs. Otherwise I'd watch it on the TV and not the interweb!

To that extent it is technically 'free' as it is not itemised as a cost on my bill, but it is still a service that has to be paid for by my bill. But then again it's the same 'free' if you have Infinity broadband and BT TV - then it only costs more if you want HD.

The app via Chromecast (and the resolution enhancement my TV applies to non-HD sources) gives me a near-enough HD representation.
