Next Broadcasting Deal
-
@bayimports yeah, had seen Paramount+ advertised independently more just the disappointment when you see something listed on prime and it has the little yellow symbol in the corner meaning i need yet another service

@Kiwiwomble had it for a couple of months, got into The Bear but found it pretty shit to navigate and couldn't figure out what star wars or marvel stuff was the good ones. Use prime all the time.
I was surprised at how big Disney is but it's not as big as prime.
do you have paramount+ over there? was disappointed when i saw how many shows advertised on prime we're actually behind a second subscription
Yeah that's probably the one we use the most at the moment, some great shows. Pretty clunky to navigate, but slightly better than Disney (i.e. I can actually find stuff I want to watch).

Back on topic.
NZR is tipped to accept a 33% cut in broadcasting rights payment from Sky. Currently they receive $111M per year (previously it was $52M per year). This article says that NZR is leaning towards accepting $75M per year without the rights for the Nations Championship due to start in 2026. The community game will be most affected by this reduced income.

Does the broadcasting deal also include the newly created Nz-Sa series?
I thought the aim was to get a separate deal for that that would rival Lions broadcasting revenue?

anyone use sky now?
how you found it ?I still have normal sky, as opposed to sky now(?), the online only one. It's not a patch on the old spark sport platform, their on demand is just nowhere as good, but you can use the Sky go app when you are away from your decoder

just sick of paying 80 bucks just to watch rugby. looking for a cheaper optionI looked at the online only one, but I didn't think the savings were that good. And I do like to watch other sports aside from rugby. But I agree it probably isn't good value for money

I use a Sky Pod with the Sport package included. $68/month. Works pretty well (all works off broadband rather than satellite). The very occasional buffering issue but that's maybe once a week, if that. I don't tend to use many of the features, but you can live rewind etc like you can with a decoder.
Will get more value from it once rugby kicks in again. Helpfully though, most of the other streaming platform apps are pre-loaded in the Sky home screen.
