You could probably burgle a house as well if you really put your mind to it.

sky will honour the contract, but what if the rfl is unhappy about being put on a lower budget channel, lower subscribers to that channel could impact future negotiations, even more now since our coverage has been diluted to just full games and a twenty minute highlight show on a monday (take away the ad break time)

Its more that it might be in both parties interest at this point to re-negotiate (if not now, in the near future) Our Structure is changing so what we are selling to them is going to change and they have major changes in their business model, there could be a much more mutually beneficial arrangement in this new world.

I mean, a Rugby League Channel already exists.

True, I think if the leagues are restructured then it would need the green light from Sky before it could happen, so it would make sense.



Depends what our current contract says really. At the minute the RL seems to be on a different channel with each match they show, so I suspect the RFL originally agreed to be shown on whatever channel Sky wanted. If that is the case then they wouldn't have much of an argument.

That's twice you have said a rugby league channel Exists tell me were please

we've gone from second to soccer/football for best viewing figures a few seasons ago to now be lagging behind a 'sport' like darts and playing second fiddle to a pub game on a thursday night

the rfl were too quick to sign the deal so probably signed upto what you say, poor management from our governing body ateotd

been free to air on the bbc for many years though too... the other organisation but still darts!

true... the channels come in HD so its just as good and free.. you cant record though but still dont want to pay £50 a month to record and rewind/forward.

That's like nicking a car, then complaining to the victim that it doesn't have air-con.

Oh, it is. Try reading the Digital Economy Act 2017, which came in force in April, as a starting point.

Possessing a kodi box isn't illegal. Watching pirate streams on it is. I hope the court summons doesn't spoil your viewing.

i dont have a kodi box, never seen one.

have another product thats on the market.

lots of different rules and regs going around.. depends which side of the law you fall on.

you sound like you've got your knickers in a twist
so you reckon that every household in the world or even just the uk that has ever watched any pirate streams is going to get a court summons for doing so?
yeah right

more like the companies that stream the content will be targeted first and that their streaming is closed down or else they will face severe action

I had sky for 25 years, paying full whack. I got fed up of terrible and arrogant customer service. I switched to BT and pay a fair amount for a box which, if i'm honest, isn't as good as skys. however the much cheaper coast and better customer service equals things out.
however we only get sky sports 1 and 2, so with this likely to be football i'm not sure what we can do
