I've got Sky (they phoned me up and said "do you want it free again?") and even I am not tempted to subscribe to Sports. I'd love to if I could just buy the F1 channel, but I can't.
NOW TV only exists so that the tech-savvy can get a media player by Roku without having to pay over the odds, but will still stream from any decent source
FTFY.
Cheapest media streaming device around.

I've been tempted to get one purely because they often come with 5 sports day-passes. Do they work well? I've got the PS3 so am not sure if it's any benefit.
Well, since I'm not tech savvy, I just gave it back to John Lewis and got a refund.

Currently I have sat sitting under the telly a defunct Sky HD box (managed to cancel after much wrangling and threats to take to the ombudsman) a NowTV box, a YouView box & a DVD player that lets me stream NetFlix plus a data switch to share the ethernet between the YouView & NetFlix
need to do some consolidating but not sure (besides the Sky box) what to lose
Netflix - just discovered Breaking Bad & it is amazingballs
YouView - less content but has the HDD recorder (could upgrade the DVD player to get the HDD)
NowTV - was great for True Detective - but little used recently
Sky HD - will not go back due to tightening of contracts to make it harder to escape
NetFlix is being using daughters subscription (i.e. free as second device)
NowTV - need to check if this is costing even though not being used
YouView - Monthly deal with bundle from BT
How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think
I've got Sky HD, so I get the F1.
I don't have any other sports channels though.
I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]
