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?

  • The programmes I like are mostly on BBC and Channel 4, so my monthly costs are £15 for a TV licence to watch BBC live and BBC I-player, and £3.99 to have no ads on channel 4's online catchup service. 

    When Amazon Prime have a special offer on the Prime subscription, we'll get that temporarily for the free parcel delivery and will check what's on Prime video, which is part of the package. There's not usually much we like, but we did watch Lucifer, Good Omens and Fallout on there. It's usually £8.99 a month, but earlier this year I got it for half price (£4.49 a month) for 3 months, then cancelled it when the 3 month period finished.
