Netflix and catchup. My PS3s days are probably numbered as my TV now handles Netflix and catchup all by itself. 8-)

Yes?

Download it all via torrent. I hate ads as they completely break up the flow of a show, and I also hate sometimes waiting months for shows I watch to come over here.

Shame more shows aren't on Netflix immediately after airing in the US like how they did for the final season of Breaking Bad.

I don't watch anything bar the F1 live these days. Just stack it all up on the planner and skip the ads.



Pretty much this. I have downgraded my sky package but I'm still wondering how much its worth. Wont be long till I bite the bullet and get rid all together and move to Freeview + Netflix.

I think Sky basic is actually pretty excellent for the money.

It's not just the channels themselves, but the catchup/'box sets' service they offer these days is great. Entire series at the touch of a button for downloading. And if you double it up as broadband provider, it can be a really cheap way to go about TV/internet costs.

Netflix (with Unblock US)
Freeview (only watch a handfull of shows, usually just have the TV on in the background when doing stuff)
Only shows I pirate regularly are Agent's of SHIELD (channel 4 airing it on a massive delay and shunting it around the schedule) and Game of Thrones (not paying out of my arse for Sky)

Sail the high seas.

4OD wised up to AdBlock and stopped it working so on the rare occasion British TV offers something worth catching up on that too now gets the high seas treatment. Faster for me to download a 45 minute show than it is to wait 90 seconds before it streams. Even faster when you add in the multiple breaks.

Catchup and Netflix mostly, closely followed by Freeview for a few shows.

Found a way around that. Turn off ABP like it asks, then as soon as the first ad starts, put it back on.

Made the recent transition to Netflix & Catch Up TV only. Tend to just stick to Netflix for the most part though. Only thing I ever watched on Sky when I had that was football so I just stream that elsewhere illegally now and am saving £70 or so a month for just having Netflix instead of Sky & a TV License.

I pay for a licensed streaming site for the Premier League. I have a season ticket at Brann Stadion, so I don't see the value in paying for the Norwegian Premiership.

I also use Netflix (with Unblock US), but I might cancel it as I barely use it anymore.

I pirate Top Gear, as it takes a while for it to get to Norway, and they've started sending edited 50 minute versions instead of the originals and strawberry float that.


Generally there's very little of anything that I find interesting on TV.
