NINETY FUCKING QUID
If it wasn't for Sky Sports I would move to just having fibre and freeview. As it stands it's just about cheaper (and way more convenient) than going to the pub to watch the football every time I want to watch a match. -
Binky, I'm sure a man of your high moral fiber wouldn't consider Kodi side loaded onto an Amazon FireStick with Phoenix repo on to watch every single Premier League game -
Can't reply. Googling. -

To be honest I've tried things like Now TV and streams before and they all make a mockery of having a nice TV.
I use a friends BT Sports login for the occasional BT match and even then I find it poor quality when fed through hdmi to the tv.
I'm exactly the sort of person Sky love. -

Registered 16 years agoYeah, it's a weird one. The quality on now tv is decent for everything other than sports which is noticeably compressed. -
@nickthegun Prob because they are trying to stream something live -
I've started the NowTV two week free trial. Typical Sky, I had to use a different email address because my main email already has a Sky account. The picture quality seems alright so far but there's probably about a 30 second delay for their broadcast TV.
Is sport faster but with a worse picture? -

All of the movie and entertainment channels also stream live and are fine but, yeah, I suppose the sport has the highest demand.

NowTV is 720p so it may be more noticeable with faster pictures such as sport.

Not been my experience since finding Phoenix. It's not the world's best picture quality, I admit, but the Premier League Pass seems to just rub in your face how screwed the British sports fan is by Sky and BT Sports

So either it'll be blurry and/or you risk hearing your neighbours cheering a minute before you see the goal. Curse Sky and their better value but possibly not quite right NowTV. I suppose what'll happen is they'll offer me a discount to stay. I need to work out how much it's worth to me for things to be fast and good quality.

I like like sport to be as live as possible, partly because for me it slightly spoils the tension if I know everything has happened some time before. For some reason I've made my peace with the satellite delays of a few seconds. -

That doesn't work if you're the parents though. -

Registered 18 years agoI hated streaming sports. Football was bad but cricket was atrocious for quality and given the length of matches.
Having days of HD test and ODI cricket on was glorious. Especially after being without for so long. -

Registered 18 years agoMurdoch will disintegrate at some point releasing the children's souls that power his robot heart.
At which point his heir wil rise tol run things in a compassionate and incompetent fashion.
Frankly for decent HD sports I am prepared to take the shafting.

Registered 7 years agoI actually sat on New Years Eve getting my head round making my own Kodi build, so I've got most of the well know repo's and add ons. NJM is usually my go to for football streams- about 720p and rarely goes off. It's night and day from getting steams off websites and hooking up the laptop, constantly refreshing them or finding other streams.
As for movies, I'm actually now going to the cinema more often because of it. Watched The Hateful 8 and Revenant on Kodi, liked them so much we went to watch it at the cinema. That's how I justify it anyway. -

Registered 18 years agoYeah, NJM uses the same PLP feeds that Valhalla and Robocop do. Like all good things in Kodi, the love is shared about a bit. Until people try and make cash of others' work by selling ready made builds to the unsuspecting, and then it'll all go to shit. -
