Unaffordable TV

TheCatWoman

I've asked AI how much it would cost to have all the common streaming channels and the answer is £120 per month minimum, that dosent' include Sky, the licence fee or any sporting channels which would add another £30-50 a month.

Given how much rubbish there is on terrestial channels, especially now with all the football and the knock on effects of how much less funding there will be for other programing, is this a hidden part of the cost of living?

I don't have any of the streaming channels or Sky and signing up to them would make a serious dent in my finances, how do people afford them and are they worth it? DO you only really use them for one big series each like GoT?

  • I was looking to see what is on terrestrial recently and noticed that some of the streaming channels have the same repeats as others. 

    I have also noticed that when the BBC have a feature about a new series it is often on a streaming service. As they are on different ones, you would possibly need to pay for a few. As you have to pay for a TV licence anyway I am sticking with the free ones for now. I enjoyed it when you could rent a film on video as you just paid for what you wanted.
