I know of people who do this for Sky Sports UK (traditional premium tv), who hold the exclusive rights to many English Premier league games (soccer). When the off season approaches, call up Sky and ask to terminate your subscription. Either they offer you a really nice deal, similar to what new subscribers get, or you quit for a few months and re-subscribe just before the season starts again. There's more on Sky than just soccer, but obviously that's the main draw for most people.
- purple_ducks 8y agoWith Freesat in the mix in the UK, the only other things Sky has going for it are: a) Sky Atlantic showing new HBO shows 1 day after HBO (no HBO in UK) b) a slightly more polished EPG and recorder than the freesat/linux equivalents though that gap seems to be reducing.
- patrickk 8y agoYeah I've seen projects like OpenVix running on nice hardware, e.g. VU+ tv boxes where there's a nice UI that is a clone of the standard Sky menu.
