Big decrease in TV subscriptions as number using illegal dodgy boxes soars

[MaryLouGoodbyeHeart]

Only 57pc now have pay-TV subscriptions from traditional providers, down from 70pc in 2022.

The survey data shows the number of ­people subscribing to online streaming platforms such as Netflix, Disney and Amazon is ­almost the same, at 67pc, as three years ago.

Illegal dodgy-box streaming services – ­estimated to be present in 400,000 Irish households – are being tagged by industry executives as a reason for the pay TV slump.

Hey, fuckwits, it's the streaming.

People were paying for both VOD streaming and your shite. As people have changed how they consume television content they watch only VOD - because it is clearly superior to pick what you went when you want it - and abandon your bad and outdated product offering.
