I was told by a work mate that SKY TV Is dropping Eurosport and All of the Discovery Channels. Virgin TV are still going to Show Eurosport. There is an app Eurosport Player for £20 Per Year from Eurosport.

If that's the case then I've got no need for Sky because they're the only channels I watch outside of the usual BBC / ITV

Yep. A statement has gone out saying that but I'm hoping one of the two sides will change their minds.

There was a scroll bar across the top of a number of channels last night saying from 1st Feb they will no longer be available on SKY (Quest, Discovery etc).

I'm with Virgin Media (but not by choice [initially] as we couldn't get a SKY signal where we are). But now it might not be a bad thing.

With reference to the Discovery Channel[s] and similar, it seems strange as one of SKY's bundles was around documentaries etc.

Sky is arguing over paying Discovery a fair amount for their channels wanting to put any savings into their excessive Sports budget.As long as Discovery can find another outlet I think they should stick to their guns on licensing fees.

I'm hoping for a 11th hour deal between the two. I'd love to jump ship to Virgin but they haven't arrived with me yet.

I get Eurosport via BT Youview

Offer is only to 31 Jan, after that it goes back up to £5 ish a month.

The phoneapp works with Chromecast.

With the number of apps, downloads, dodgy set top boxes etc watching it all for free, I'm surprised Sly have any paying customers left. A news story in the papers today states that the fallout rate (loosing customers) is exceptionally high. There's also plans afoot for Sly to start a cable service for those who can't / won't have a dish, or can't get a signal

I've been using an app on my phone called mobdro for the last year and it streams all sky sports,f1,Eurosport etc
Then send it to a chrome cast plugged into your tv then away you go free moto gp etc

I'm a techno idiot and I managed to get it working
