Well, Yes. But thats why i dont have a Bentley, i didnt go and steal one and then blame it Bentley for their prices being to high.

| Sky aren't robbing anyone. They offer a subscription service for a price.
There's free to air RL highlights through the BBC together with radio commentary on many matches through the BBC local radio service. You can watch NRL via Premier Sports from £9.99 too.
If you choose to go down the route of 'illegal streaming' then don't try to justify your actions through the 'its too expensive' line, you just want something for nothing.

alot of people have paid for the full package for years.... but when your neighbour is getting the same for free it makes sense

| Oh, the old "its okay to do it because so and so is doing it" defence.
That's got as much credibility (and maturity) as "the dog ate my homework".

| Quote BiltonRobin="BiltonRobin"I did consider an alternative box, but unfortunately living in Hull we are saddled with one network supplier (Kcom) and very slow Internet.
So anything that relies on streaming just isn't an option, the supplier did suggest an IPTV solution, but until where in the 21st century it's satellite TV only.'"
Ah Kcom, the company that brought us KIT!
As of a few weeks ago I can now get Lightstream, which is being installed shortly.
Just hoping my Vista powered laptop can handle the excitement.

| BT Sport has won the exclusive rights to show the European Rugby Champions Cup and Challenge Cup from the 2018-19 season to the end of 2021-22.
Up to 134 matches a season will be shown live on TV in the UK and Ireland over nine weekends.
On top of this, BT Sport also has the rights to the Aviva Premiership and the Anglo-Welsh Cup, It will show up to 69 live premiership matches this season.
Super League signing up to a new long term deal with sky early, without going to tender is looking a poor move when BT sport are outbidding Sky for RU.

Very true, probably best to reign in my expectations.
My mate had a KIT box. Briefly. He complained about the blurry picture & Kcom told him they broadcast in 'soft focus'...got uninstalled the next day!

| Folk turn to streaming because that's the only way they can view a lot of sporting events live - not just because it's free. Even if you subscribe to every sports channel going on Sky, there are some games/events that you can't watch (PL games being an example).

| That's just another excuse though isn't it. You don't have the right to see everything you want to, whether its a live event or not.
Just because you can stream things doesn't mean its morally or legally correct to do so.

| Some decidedly fuzzy logic is in use in this thread, in a desperate attempt to justify illegal and immoral behaviour.
