Totally depends on what sports you are into, and how much you can be bothered to find a good stream of something.
Personally I keep it because I can't be arsed to search for streams with the quality that I want anymore, and because I really like their F1 and NFL coverage.
Their football coverage is easily the best and what they base their offering from, but following a league two club it doesn't matter to me...
Be interesting to see what they do with Boxing coverage now that DAZN is in the UK, just find it a struggle to listen to Smith and Macklin on commentary!
SKY SPORTS VALUE FOR MONEY?

Re: SKY SPORTS VALUE FOR MONEY?
If you like boxing, football, cricket and darts then definitely worth the money.
If you just like boxing, definitely not.

That being said they've lost about half the football they did show to BT and Amazon.
I'd like to know how much they pay to show NFL because I guarantee that's a sport most Brits couldn't give a chuff about.

Re: SKY SPORTS VALUE FOR MONEY?
See funnily enough I support a League One club and went with IPTV mainly as a backup initially as I got all the iFollow streams for the games. The quality and reliability was then so good that I ditched Sky completely. In your shoes it is definitely worth £50 for a year of iFollow so you can see how you feel about it for boxing etc too mate. Genuinely haven't had a stream less than 1080 since I've had it.craig_minter wrote: ↑13 Dec 2020, 18:41 Totally depends on what sports you are into, and how much you can be bothered to find a good stream of something.

Re: SKY SPORTS VALUE FOR MONEY?
Only watch boxing as a sport. Maybe watch the home nations in the world cup finals but that's it.
I have SKY, BT, Premier, Fite, will get Dazn and buy every PPV even when I know they're going to be shite. I used to read 4-5 magazines a month as a kid. It is fomo for sure. Also, I just enjoy boxing. It's both relaxing and exhilarating for me at the same time.
I dropped the sport for about 10 years. But I get so much enjoyment from it again now.
SKY is not value for money but the average price of a premier league ticket is £32 and that's not worth it either.

Get ifollow with my season ticket (although I'm hoping I actually can get to a game by end of the month!)

I'll have to check out what sort of streams I get for the F1 or see if I can get an F1 only package and work something out for Boxing
