With all the recent inflationary price rises, is there stuff you just won’t pay for now?

I value the background playing option on Premium, so that's a non-starter for me.

Does Android still get that for free?

No, it only works with Premium.

It is the end of an era in the Blewatter Household. As of September, we will no longer have Sky. I feel like we, as a family, are not getting any value from Sky anymore, as we don't tend to watch the premium channels, we don't have Cinema or Sports (Aside from F1), and we use Freesat or our tablets/computers/phones in the rest of the house. We've gone Freesat recording box, fire stick, and we will get Netflix separately, which works out cheaper.

Newspapers if I can help it.

Even my 74 year old mother has given up newspapers except on Sundays as she likes the magazine that comes with it but the weekday papers are now simply too expensive.

I’ve not had Sky for a couple of years - there is no question, the UI and the box is a polished product, but it’s not worth what they charge and so much of the content is available elsewhere without locking into a long contract with baked in price rises. I just can’t understand why they can’t just keep the price the same for the whole term, that would stem much of the grumbling.
