[seamouse]

people on a few sites say the XXX went dead last night as well,
anyone confirm?

we all know ( well i know ) there is a post on one of the papers a few months ago about sky will go cardless on the sky q boxes
when i had my sky q put in a few weeks ago, was told the same, soon no need for a dish and are trying to make something like a sky q and now tv box in one.

Ashamed to admit that I can confirm several of the rubbish UK prawn channels no longer opened last night & was too shy to come straight out and report it. So thanks to seamouse for helping break the ice.

As far as I am concerned it will be no big loss for me considering my age and the fact that I have seen the repeats shown 1000's of times. I am finding it hard to find what I would miss TBH as have mostly found enough to entertain me on Freeview & freesat these days. Not to mention other stuff like AWS, Flix, IPTV.

From a technical perspective it's a new challenge to try and overcome which for me is a big part of what this 'hobby' has always been about.

I think you are spot on, this site has always been more of a hobbyist community, CS has made it too easy and has become virtually a retail offering. I won't miss it, TBH I don't watch much of it now... only the boxing really. Even if this goes, there will still be plenty of CS opportunities for those with multisat.

Dust off the motor, and get back to finding the fta offerings and feeds!
