    Funding criminals for iptv isn't the answer. You can be sure that your money will be funding all sorts of unsavoury endevours. It's better that you do without the content completely. 
    I don't disagree, however if people still want access to everything without switching to BT TV/Now/or use a Vpn to subscribe abroad (Peacock Sports) this is another option. 
    Virgin stream is another option as well that people tend to forget about it’s what I use currently BT sport is £10.00 a month and sky sports £18.75 30 day contract 18 month offer works like now tv and has freeview as the base package free of charge only downside is you need virgin broadband alongside it but it certainly is the cheapest way to obtain sports content legally on the market.

    Maybe do a subject access request for the call recording, that is unacceptable behaviour...

    If true, there's always two sides to every story...

    Currently on probably the best deal I've ever had with Sky TV - per month £39
    Signature £19
    Sports Complete £7 (crazy)
    Cinema £6
    Sport HD £2
    HD £5

    18 month contract, not sure how I managed to talk them in to Sports Complete for £7 (was £5 but gone up with April increases).
    Cancelled cinema recently to offset April increases and offered half price to retain, so pretty much back where I started !!! 
    Great deal.  I would stay for that.  May I ask where you got the offer from (call or online chat etc)? I've not yet boxed up my stuff to send back.
    I re-contracted with this deal last December. I usually use the "i" messenger service on my Apple phone, it can be slow but always seems to be somewhere there to chat with, or pass you on if they cant deal with the issue. It was only recently I ditched Cinema after the prices were going up. Towards the end of the cancellation period I had an e-mail and text message offering me half price Cinema if I wished to retain it for 6 months. I just clickied accept offer and it was done (ps - It did cause a few issues with my billing for Sports but all sorted now).

    I got offered the same insulting deal again today, they keep sending it through the post and via email: £43 for Entertainment, Sports and Cinema. When you add the extras (UHD, HD, Kids, Multiroom & Ultimate) on top it's just not worth it. Why is UHD/HD not included, it's 2023?! £43 all in and I would have taken it but I'm just not interested. After 8 weeks without them I thought they would have got the message. I know I may sound greedy but years ago they used to offer 75% off for lapsed subscribers, and that was at a time when people's pockets weren't getting squeezed half as much as they are today.

    Anyway, I'm done with Sky and put an end to it all by sending the boxes back. I thought I held the cards whilst I still had the boxes, but they didn't dangle a big enough carrot for me, so they're gone.

    I'm feeling liberated and can't wait to take the dish down!
