Punished by sky

So when you now cancel your sky subscription (because there stream service is an absolute disgrace) you can't even watch ITV or BBC and free channels because they have spat their dummy and do not let you even watch the basics, whoever is in charge of sky and the running of it could not run a bath, money hungry, greedy and unable to ascertain a good standard. I'll take my service elsewhere, take this terrible sky glass back too.

Well it makes compete sense to me seeing how the streaming platform is a sky owned closed platform, so if you no longer pay for a Sky subscription why would they let you watch streaming channels on their platform for free. Carrying any channel on the platform is going to incur some sort of operating cost.

 

Its the reason the TVs have a built in tuner to pick up the DTT channels via an ariel, so it will still act as a bog standard TV should you cancel the Sky subscription
