Vodafone TV
-
I got an email about my Sky TV. At present I'm billed by Vodafone as part of my broadband account. Vodafone are offering me two options going forward
-
Vodafone TV. 10 bucks cheaper per month and offer to replace my sky decoder with Vodafone TV box for free
-
Sky bill me direct.
Has anyone got Vodafone TV? Hows the quality? Can I still record shows like my sky?

@nzzp said in Vodafone TV:
@canefan if you only watch sports, consider SkySportNow. I've been using it - not perfect, but some really good features.
happy to post more on pros/cons if anyone is interested
Mrs CF loves all the extra lifestyle channels, so we aren't ready to drop it yet
-
@canefan yeah Mrs TR watches the stuff that arent on the very basic package too.
Whats worse is her family in the UK dont have smart phones, rarely use skype or other similar on computer and all still use landlines, so we have to pay for a bloody landline for them to talk!!

Ouch. So are you using Vodafone TV for your sky?
-
@canefan no, just joining in
I changed my Power/telco/broadband about a year back but still pay through Vodafone for my sky stuff (decoder and package) same price as with Sky
-
@taniwharugby I do too, but just got an email from Vodafone advising me of the change. If Vodafone TV still has all the sky channels I will probably change
-
@canefan I havent had an email...or did it come with the bill? I saw that in my inbox but dont read it haha

Voda TV is a combo smart TV (all the main apps) and Sky feed all through internet.
If you have a good fibre connection and unlimited data it is an easy way of having sat tv and internet tv all in one place. It records to the cloud (500 hours) and can rewind/pause etc like a sky+ box with no contract or monthly fee unless you turn the sky bits on (can turn on and off)
Pretty good product with nice UI IMO.

we dont have fibre where we are, and cant see it getting to us in the foreseeable future (nearest line is probably 10km away) we do get decent ADSL speeds (better than when we were in town) though with 42mbps down and 1.7 up...although TR Jnr moans continuously about lagging on his PS4...

You probably need to have your bills sent by sky and keep the same decoder then

All kids whine about 'lag' and'glitches' when they're losing!
The only thing about all those online offerings is you get to see it 10 20 secs after every one else on the fern, and get every thing spoilt

@Machpants haha we just laugh at him...he wants to run an ethernet cable from the lounge to the garage (15m)
The stream I was watching on last night was about 30+ sec behind!
