Oh is this another one of those shitty things we have been leading the world with in the UK?
I think we've had as many as 4 subscriptions to legally watch all the broadcasted* matches of a top flight football team some years
*You still miss half the matches played because of the Saturday 3pm blackout, which prohibits those matches being broadcast
They are just begging for you to find a good pirate service and stop giving them money... you should definitely honour their wishes
One of my pirate feeds for the World Cup had an annoying "Scan this QR Code to pay for your TV license" graphic in the corner. How do you people live like that?
That was an isolated scheme for the world cup.
Just looked it up for Germany: Sky and DAZN for Bundesliga, Amazon Prime and Paramount+ (what?) for Champions League and apparently the CL final game is rumored to be aired on Netflix exclusively.
You need two different subscriptions to stream Premier League matches in America. I thought that was bad enough. But the UK situation sounds significantly worse.
