Of course it does, Besoeker.
You seem to have missed the whole point.
It is because so much sport is on day and night, 7 days a week at the mo, that I have very little left to watch.
I do not have Sky, or Netflix or anything like that, so rely on the usual channels, so for the next month, because we're swamped with football, there is very little I can see, except very old repeats - and most of those were repeated last week and the week before too!

You don't have to pay for Netflix or Prime.
Just watch all the many things on the free channels...
and no football!

JBR, I know I must sound really thick, but I don't even know what a Firestick is, or what to do with it if I had one.

You plug it into an HDMI socket in the back of your telly.
Then follow the instructions.
You'll need an internet connection.
(You don't need a TV licence if you're not watching any live TV or BBC iPlayer.)

If you connect your telly to the internet and make it a 'Smart Telly' and start watching programmes and films you might need to upgrade your internet package Mups, because you might exceed your allowance.....

From what I've read, watching an internet television source (which is what the Fire Stick provides) requires no more than 2-4 Mbs.
I'll let people here know whether it is successful in a couple of weeks, but others here have found it so.

At the moment I'm allowed 15Gb...Or else I will have to upgrade.
PS: Sorry JB, I just checked and I'm on unlimited use....
It was my google email account that allows me 15Gb...
Talk about 'Senior Moments'.....
I just took my car in to have a new windscreen after a stone flew up on the motorway and what started as a little chip, soon found it's way across the whole windscreen..
Anyway, yesterday Mrs Fox and me went to check out the company where my insurance company told me to present the car at 9:30 am this morning.
I went out early for my run, quickly showered, and drove to the place only to be told I had come to the wrong company....
Turns out it was 'National Windscreens' and not 'Auto Windscreens'....Today has not started well.....
