The difference is all in the picture quality and the experience. I much prefer to watch boxing with good picture quality on a big screen TV than to stream it.
Saying that, I don't subscribe because my shitty house can't get sky or cable, so I have to watch them on stream anyway. However, when I live somewhere reasonable, I fully expect to subscribe.
Most torrents are hd and look great :)
Re: BoxNation - How many people here subscribe to it? Fact.
I do.
Whats a tenner a month? Afew drinks thats it.
Re: BoxNation - How many people here subscribe to it? Fact.
Yes I do and I have it on Virgin so can record it on there and is the equivelent of Sky +.
It has revitalised my boxing because I gave up on sky which was too expensive. This is a cheaper and better alternative. I have been subscribing since Cottov Marg in December 2011. There are months where it may be nothing but I have seen Cotto v Mayeather, Chisora v Vitali, Chavez v Lee etc good battles.
Just need all the fights to be on there. :cool:

Looks like I lost my bet (par for the course)
The next person that says "it's a pint of beer a week" is getting physically shot. Fact.
Re: BoxNation - How many people here subscribe to it? Fact.
I do too. I rate the channel to be honest and now it says HD is on it's way I'm happy too. Yes it's not as professionally run as Sky but it's a very young Channel and if Maloney and Hatton do take their fighters there as has been suggested in some quarters (though i bet it would be painfull to be UNDER Warren) it really could be very good for the sport. I enjoy the fights in midweek in Russia and the likes too. I'm impressed with Boxnation and I hope they go from strength to strength.

How can you not get Sky, are you in one of those parts of Wales that doesn't have electricity yet?

It's physically burnt. And it's only a pint a week. If you live in the south it's probably well less than a pint a week. In fact it's only a half in some pubs. The fact is you can get it for the price of only half a pint!

We're on the wrong side of the hill. FACT.
Something about the hill behind us being quite steep and a lack of line of sight with the satellite. The guy we had out suggested putting the dish at the top of a 12 foot pole at the bottom of the garden, and run a wire up to the house. We're not paying a couple of grand for sky.
Re: BoxNation - How many people here subscribe to it? Fact.
I do cheaper than a pint a week

That must be one steep motherfucking hill. But a twelve foot length of timber for a couple of quid and a second hand dish for a couple of quid more. You'll probably be able to get them for the price of a pint each. Then buy a sateelite signal reciever. I just went to ebay to find you one so that I could quote you the price in pints. Here it is :
COMPLETE SATELLITE FINDER KIT SIGNAL METER BNIB | eBay
Thus for the cost of six and a half pints, or roughly a round of drinks for a small group of people you can buy a satellite finder and plug it into the dish. I did this while being breathtakingly stoned twenty odd years ago on the top of a student house beside a small forest and still hit the satellite in a relatively short space of time. When you get it just buy an old scaffolding pole and concrete the fucker into the ground, fix your dish and off you go. I haven't bought any in a long time but I'm guessing you can get a bag of cement and a bag of ballast for about three pints, maybe two and a half pints. Phone some scaffolding companies for an old pole and ask them how many pints they want for one. :)
