    Was on £5 Entertainment pass for last 6 months. Clicked to cancel and was offered pass at £3.99 for next 6 months - accepted it. 

    Currently on £1 for Boost till 23rd of the month. I’ve no intention of paying £5pm so I’ll see if any offers on that.

    No way would I pay another £5 to get the second stream we'd need, wouldn't want ads either.

    That's me ruling out Now TV permanently. 
    Yes, me too.  I've now made the decision that I'm never again going to pay to watch adverts on TV.  I dropped the full Sky package almost five years ago, had NowTV after that, and then the awful BT TV. 

    I've currently got 12 month half price subs to Eurosport and Discovery+, plus a Britbox offer.  Eurosport can be dropped when the offer ends as the channels are now on Discovery+.

    I use my kids sign ins for Netflix and Prime, and all those plus YouTube give me everything I need. The only adverts I see nowadays are on YouTube but even those can be targeted and/or often skipped.

    Latest offer I've just got on boost is £3 a month for 3 months. Going to be cancelling everything in September when my movie deal ends. Costing too much for the current crop of so-called premieres that are coming out - £5.99 + £3 a month. 
    We found it cheaper to pay VM for sports than get Now TV passes, and most of entertainment is on VM anyway (except Atlantic). Shame, I've been using Now TV for years, always used to be good pricing.
  • The movies on Sky/Now have been atrocious for months. Same as Netflix, nothing on there for me.
    Britbox is my goto now.

    I was on £1pm for Boost for the last 6 months. Just cancelled Boost and was offered £2pm for next 3 months. I've accepted it as I was paying £5pm for Entertainment and £1pm for Boost so £6pm in total. Now I'll be paying £3.99pm for Entertainment and £2pm for Boost so £5.99pm in total - saving 1p per month so I'm ok with that for now.

    I got an email out of the blue yesterday saying they were extending my movie offer (£5.99 a month) for another 6 months. Trouble is there's so few new movies coming out, that the trickle through is even worse. Still better than Britbox though.

    I disagree! BritBox now has what seems to be the entire catalogue of film 4. For British movies BritBox is unbeatable. 

    Sky movies at the moment is rubbish.

    With the streaming changes the full price of movies was cut by £2 to £9.99 and since then they have tried to tempt me  (unsuccessfully) with an offer of 6 months at £4.99 a month (on entertainment as well for 3 months)

    Just finished a 6 month free trial of Britbox from BT - for me that was about the right price as just about everything there had been on FTA and/or been on iPlayer etc
