Still failing to see the point of your post @Timelord2018 


I agree with the other poster, this simply shouldn't be shown on pages with 24 month contracts

 

Every right to put a complaint into the Advertising Standards Authority 


It depends if you've signed up for 24 months or on a 31 day rolling contract you still get Discovery + included on both contracts 

So failing to see what your post actually means @Timelord2018 


No I'm afraid it doesn't depend if you signed up to anything.

 

If it is deemed unfair to the consumer by ASA/Court/Ombudmans those small print words will mean very little all of a sudden.

 

It is advertising 300 days of cycling so a consumer would naturally assume they are getting 300 days of cycling.

 

You know last year I was told continually by a insurance company they did everything correctly to their terms and conditions. Role on 6 months later the Financial Ombudsman awards £3000 to myself.


Are you expecting that amount with your ongoing complaint @Manixman let us know how it Roles out

That isthe thing with U.S. Streaming services. No one is watching them and therefore paying for them so it is viewers across Europe who are having to pay te bills. [Or maybe not.]

I wouldn't say 'no-one', but WBD have acknowledged they were late to market with streaming in the US.

 

They claim 110 million subscribers globally, though, which isn't trivial.

This reminds what a U.S. Media reporter  who stated. If The Invisable Man were on a U.S. streaming service. No one would stream NOT to see him!

No need for the trolling.

Silly response aimed to antagonize.

Re: Changes to the TV Guide - January 2025

Sorry if this is duplicating what someone else may have said but I don't have time to read all 13 pages. I have Sky Signature and asked if I could downgrade to essentials and add TNT Sports. They said no but agreed I could cancel my TV contract from 28 February without penalty so I have done so. I am keeping Sky broadband until my contract expires in August.

Is it just a matter of time before something like fubo comes to the UK so your only paying for sports if that's all your after?

demise of Eurosport

I've heard that Eurosport is closing down later in February 2025 and being amalgamated, and ultimately part of TNT Sport at a significant extra cost.

Will my Sky package be reduced because of the loss of Eurosport as I seem to remember I paid Sky an initial £5 pounds a month for the privilege of having Eurosport on top of my Sky Sports package?

so what is your opinion on the topic of my post regarding Eurospsort demise?

Re: Closure of Eurosport channels 28/02/25

Eurosport is now part of the Discovery+, and is included free with your Sky package. So no, there's unlikely to be any reduction in your bill.

@Rixxxter  The likelihood of you getting a reduction in costs is remote but all you can do is call sky and ask them
