It seems Discovery and Sky have fallen out?

If Discovery disappears off Sky, is it available anywhere else?

So, where's Dixcovery going to be shown? Anywhere?

Is this brinkmanship or are they going to cut their nose off to spite their face?

It's beginning to look like it's definite that all the Discovery channels will be pulled from Sky. There's claim and counterclaim of money skulduggery. Discovery claiming they're paid less now than they were 10 years ago and Sky claiming theyu'd offere £billion to keep Discovery on-board.

I shall be quitting Sky after 27 years...

I shall lose a few Sky channels that I watch now and again but heck, at £22 cheaper, it's worth it.

I looked at various other ways but I didn't fancy mucking about with Kodi in all it's forms and usage.

Anyone else on here bothered by it?

I've never had Sky because I refuse to pay more than the licence fee to watch tv.

They've reached a deal so Discovery will be staying with Sky (but I won't).

Nice to see someone using Murdochs tactics against Him

Think they may have to suck up this increase to costs themselves, because they lost quite a few subscribers, due to the last increase - people now have other options

Losing Discovery etc, would have me wavering about bothering with SKY
