Sky tv - Never ever anything on

Anonymous — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 08:53:05 GMT

Does anyone else not see it no? Morning, noon and night, nothing but adverts and repeats??? It's an absolute shocking joke. Why why why don't people cancel and walk away. Ye are merely supporting a company that is purely ripping people off... Practically stealing outta people wallets. Why are so many people (Removed) putting up with the rip off???

People stay because in their view it is not a rip-off!!

If you don't like the content then go elsewhere for it, I personally watch YouTube so the content on Sky does not bother me but my 79yo mum loves Sky and watches many of the repeats

@Anonymous You do realise that apart from the channels branded Sky the rest have nothing to to do with Sky and are there because there is an audience for repeats as well as new programming.

There will and can never be wall to wall new programs in this day & age with streaming platforms also competing for audiences.

If you not happy with Sky cancel.

Have you considered, perhaps, that other people don't share your view? It's a bit rich calling other people 'so so stupid' when you're a subscriber yourself...😁

Quite a lot of new content on the Sky Sports channel every single day for a start.

We don't watch any of the apps and we are quite happy with the programmes we can watch on Sky Signature, Sky Sports and Sky Cinema. As others have suggested if you don't feel it's value for money then leave once you're out of contract but it's up to individual account holders as to whether they agree with your viewpoint. You've no right to try to influence their viewpoint and call them derogatory names.

@Anonymous Average individual daily viewing is only a few hours ... there is far more than few hours of new programmes broadcast or made available on-demand every day🤔😉🤔

Lee, Dune Part 2 and IF are new ones for this month. There's still a legacy of low release rates going back to the SAG/AFTRA strikes, and some may be held back for December television.

Realistically though Sky is a relatively small European-only platform and can only distribute content produced by studios that don't now have their own apps or deals with the global streamers: that's just inevitable in the fragmented media market.

Thanksgiving is new today

A new premiere every day ended a while ago, Monkey Man is the next new one on Friday

It may technically be true on monday to thursday, but 'Thanksgiving' is today's premiere, 'if' was Friday and 'girl you know it's true' was yesterday's premiere.

According to sky, There're also over 1,000 films on sky cinema on demand, I'm sure there are a couple you haven't seen of those.

Even the actual sky owed channels????? What on 7 days a week. Apart from repeats and adverts! What else is on? Anyone like to prove me wrong? Work away... Show or tell me different, please work away????????????

I understand the frustration. People who are used to how the linear channels work, may be reluctant in how how technology has changed and viewing habits have.

By excluding the on demand, you may not be getting the full value for money

I assume Sky have data on what people have been watching. They can probably see the 235th transmission this year of one of the Mission Impossible probably does better than one of the rare transmissions of one of the many hidden gems in the sky cinema on demand content. This is just what people want to watch more.

Most of what I watch is either recordings or streaming, linear for me is mostly sport, the simpsons, and for some reason bought in content on the irish station TG4 (hacks, call my agent)

I see they've now deleted their account, but the argument that "if you ignore the thousands of hours worth of content available On Demand there's not much choice" is up there with the best of them!

There are no longer separate subscriptions for OTA channels and ondemand ... so ondemand is integral part of the standard service ... most of first run programmes are not run exclusive of each other😉
