Hi all, hoping for some advice!
Generally only watch freeview, Apple TV, and prime, but would like to watch some golf, premiership and international (Autumn series) rugby, and tennis.
Is there one provider which can do all this?
We have previously signed up to Now for the Masters golf or the Open for one month, but they changed the goalposts this year and I ended up paying for a full six months, so they will not be seeing any more money from me - ever!
We signed up for one month with Discovery for some tennis also, but as you can imagine signing up with all the different platforms for what we want would be expensive.
No football coverage required.

Many thanks in advance

What timing on the thread! I was going to start one asking if Sky is the only way to watch the Premiership, Bundesliga etc! Any feedback welcome smile

Unfortunately, so far I’ve only found services (also for what you’ve asked for) at a minimum of £30/mo, no one-off or short-term trial-period options. frown

What is needed is a provider of 'pay per view' service, sourcing programmes from all other providers. In effect, just pay a small fee for whatever you want to watch.

I would speculate that for providers who mainly cover football, most of the revenue would go back into football. As I'm not really bothered about football, I would hope that the other sports would come at a lower cost. As mentioned on the rugby thread, the sport needs the income from TV to survive, as opposed to premiership football which just needs it to make the clubs and players even richer.

I think somewhere between £10 and £20 per month would cover my viewing, and I would be happy to pay for that, rather than everything else I don't want to watch.

Ideal world anyone.....?
