    Kodi and the Sky plugin for it with a shared account.

    Sky can't tell how many people are using the account.  So the cost can be shared between however many people you feel is fair.

    The laugh is that Kodi running this plugin is far faster than any Sky hardware and has far more features for recording, ability to auto remove ads etc.
     

    Takes a little know how but can be a cheap option and it is all well documented.  I have it running on a small old Intel NUC that lives behind my LG TV.  It also runs Plex and a few other UI's as the LG software is utter crap.

    So, being semi tech ignorant and after reading this and the kodi site, I could run this on an old laptop? And remote through my phone somehow? Or just use Sky Go?

    I thought only boomers pay money for Sky.  Zero customer focus, outrageous pricing.  I cut the cable years ago, completely refreshing not to spend money with them.  

    I like rugby and (most) of Turbo, plus a few other sports. What’s the alternative?

    Has traffic now returned to the insane for our population levels?  Or is it especially bad?
    The roadworks and speed limit changes in my region are so bad I am actually considering catching the train to Wellington for work.
    NZTA is just choking the Wairarapa.  All the politicians current and future are against the changes yet NZTA is doing whatever they want.

    17 min to work in school holidays and 39 min the first week back. Ridiculous. Public transport is 53 min though.


  4. In our garage, they stole and ate the rat bait box, all of the contents and most of the box. 
    And then ate through an ice cream container to get at the bird seed, before eating a box of snail bait.

    Thankfully haven’t touched the cars.

    $204 delivered from Spareto.

    I had some spare time on my hands, no idea if that's good or not, but suspect it will be.

     


  6. Sky tv. Jumped ship from them to Vodafone TV a few years back (somewhat better), had to go back to the dark side. 
    Have heard nothing, 15 minutes waiting for a “live” chat slot, to be told we can’t help. 
    51 minutes on the phone to be told they have no record of my order although they agree that my dish has been upgraded as per their work order, so in fact, they must have received it, but it hasn’t been processed.

    ”Should” be there by Friday.

    Finishing line, “We’ve had heaps of these calls today.”

    recruiters getting my first name wrong three times in an email with my correctly spelled name in the email address. I'm over this. 

    That’s common. I regularly get “Hi Simon….”

    My name is Scott and it’s in the email address. Or even better, a phone call, “Hi Simon, I’m just reading your email…”

    And these people are making business decisions?
