I pay ten cents a day to a crowd that can get me any show, any movie, any webcam around the world, whenever I want it. Sky or Netflix or whoever have a few shows for as long as it suits them and they charge a fortune. I have no problem paying a fair price for TV, but I'm fcuked if I'm gonna let them ride me.

Football is another one that is crying out for decent quality PPV streaming. I would happily pay a tenner a game to get a good Internet feed rather than having to search online for some ad-infested crap that stops to buffer every thirty seconds!

They know a fella who'll install it for you for 200 euro! No thanks, I'll wait a few weeks and download the 1080p DTS/Dolby 5.1 Blu-ray rip.
