I know money is everything in football but in even in murky world of TV surely PL owe Sky some loyalty who financed from day 1
probably some, Sky have given the Premier League a lot of razmataz and added alot to their profile. thats why i'd expect talk of ditching Sky to be just talk, they'd use it to drive a harder bargin from Sky.

there's another angle, PL dont have any means to deliver their own platform or pay per game. Sky do. i wouldn't be at all surprised if we see a pay per game, season ticket packages, delivered via Sky.

Is a VPN really necessary de nos jours?
1000 homes got raided recently in search of those people using IPTV. I know that thread was laughed at and would have thought going into certain estates and raiding 1000 homes there would be a good chance 100 would have IPTV. But I use a VPN anyway, just put it down as a cost.

Really ? Do you have a source for that

In my experience they just go after the ones selling / providing the service, not those using it

The police must have loads of spare bodies to visit and process all of these.

There is no evidence this ever happened. Just a scare story
There are follow up news articles that 4 arrests were made, for people running services. I guess end users just had equipment seized. West Midlands and Police Scotland seem to be running the national show, their rationale is that it’s part of wider organised crime.

[I’m not against illegal streaming btw. I was just interested when @Official Old Man posted that].
