Who’s got the most bongo channels on their firestick?

I love world music and enjoy the art of the percussionist so this sounds right up my alley. What bongo channel should I search for?

I've actually half-watched a couple of Bolivian Premier League matches on my dodgy firestick. Im pretty sure half the players are just lads they randomly pulled off the street. There is an endless supply of terrible football out there if one desires it.

There are also some completely free apps on the firestick which you can get the sports on. Recently watched the masters, Benn fight and any everton 3pm kick off and the quality was very decent.

Just realised paying over £100 a month for the thing That includes the sports, HD and multi-room etc but seems ridiculous. Definitely need to strip this back..

If only there was a
Some way you could watch everything including every live event for £5 a month.

Didn't need Bolivian football to find terrible football - we had more than enough of it here.

You can watch footy from more or less 1am Friday night until 12 on a Sunday night some weekends

I despise the idea of charging different prices to different customers, for an identical product, just because they think they can get away with it. It's no different to some rogue trader rinsing out the life savings of an old dear over a leaky tap.

Stick your "welcome offers", and F off with your stealth price rises.

The whole thing is a cynical swizz.

Pay more, get less, record only on our box - and when that goes you can't keep the recordings...

Nah, not for me.

As a member of Gen X, I grew up with VHS and was happy to move to DVD and then bluray. Recording was standard. Then the powers that be decided that recording was "illegal" and concepts of fair use went out the window. But what corporate technology takes with one hand, innovative user-friendly technology gives back, and I bought myself a Cloner Alliance UHD Pro recorder. Magnificent. Stream and record anything to mp4. And, whisper it, keep it. On a memory stick or hard drive.

Sky have gone out of their way to make their "offering" more expensive and less user-friendly over the years. I have found that when I can record pretty much anything, I spend less time watching "live" football as there is so much content out there to explore with a VPN and Youtube. Maybe I can do this more easily as live football was never a given for my generation. I was 11 before the first league game ever went live on ITV: Spurs v Forest, 1983. Lots of highlights out there - and loads of AI-remastered classic footage too.

TLDR: Old fart moves on.

Used car salesman stuff.
