GAA Streaming services are skimming 100% from the fans…
> It’s not unreasonable for us to assume that there is at least 40% leakage right now of people who are just watching on the dodgy box.
Uh. t’s a _tad_ unreasonable if you don’t at least give some method to reaching your total. 73% of people know that. Even the total number of boxes seems incredibly broad, but it’s in their interest to overstate the problem.
That’s terrible news that the Gaa are not creaming it .
Shame it isn’t 100%.

It is in fact unreasonable. I always hate in these conversations when people pretend not to understand the very basic idea that when something is cheaper more people do it.
I’m just going to put the obligatory Clarkson gif up for this type of news.
Oh I didn’t know you could get GAA on dodgy boxes. Sound for letting us know 👍
I’d love to know where they arrive at 40% as a figure. It’s also possible that a lot of people, while vaguely interested in GAA just aren’t interested enough to pay yet another streaming subscription and install yet another app.
A lot of people seem a bit switched off tbh — I find myself that since everything now utter shite on most of the “linear channels” and most of the good stuff is in streaming that I don’t seem to watch as much TV anymore. It’s not out of lack of tech savvy, or that I can’t afford the subs, but the whole thing has just become annoying. You’re opening and closing apps, watching stupid splash screens for Netflix, Paramount, AppleTV,
I’d honestly never even heard of Clubber.
In the last few months I’ve cancelled a load of steaming services I just rarely used — nowTV for example, and I just find I watch freesat and saorview — and tbh a lot less than I used to.
It’s just so fragmented and finding stuff to watch is an effort.
There’s the odd thing I might fire up Netflix or Apple TV for but that’s about the limit of it.
Good
Nonsense. You can’t measure what you never had. People using other means are often those who would not subscribe to a paid service.
Broadcasters: “Hmm people are not willing to pay €70+ a month to have a 50% chance of seeing their favourite football team live each week. We should punish them for seeking alternatives”
Disney/Netflix: “We have poured billions into failed projects or stuff that was needlessly expensive. People don’t want to pay for it. Let’s punish them for seeking alternatives. Hang on a sec…yeah…yeah…$645m for a Star Wars spin off? Yeah no problem we’ll jack up the subscription there will be grand.”
Piracy numbers are nonsense and page 1 of any economic textbook shows why:

They assume that all the people consuming the media for free/near free would be willing to pay full price. We know this isn’t true.
The people making these claims know it isn’t true. Very few of the people pirating would be willing to pay full whack
The whole “piracy is theft” campaign was deliberate misinformation. Piracy isn’t theft, it’s piracy – there’s nothing actually being stolen and there’s little if any actual cost to the “victim”
The inflated numbers are thrown out to make it seem like an actual problem
Who actually gives a shit
Game should be free to air, always everywhere, and paid for by tv licence
“Dodgy boxes are skimming 40% from GAA streaming services”
“There is no official figure of how many illegal streams are being accessed on dodgy boxes in Ireland. ”
🙄
The lad plucks 40% statistic square out of his hole there. Literally no way to know how many people are using streams to watch their content.
The term dodgy box is always used too to make it seem more seedy and illegal. Total propaganda nonsense.
I would never pay for GAA+ anyway. So either i watch it on the box or i don’t watch it at all.
Great news!
Me bollix. This is a little pity me method from sky. They had a similar article in Britain a week or so ago about the premier league. People aren’t going to pay 100+ a month for sports on top of a basic package.
If they can’t compete on prices and product, move on.
Takes a skimmer to know a skimmer.
No harm.
Im not saying dogey boxes are right, however its not as bad as they make it out. When watching any live event you get the adds shown before, during and after the game so the GAA still get that revenue.
Probably not a popular opinion, but I’m not a fan of the dodgy box services. GAA+ are spending huge amounts of money to provide live sports online, so it’s only fair that they can recover that cost and make a profit. So it’s understandable that the GAA are annoyed when illegal streaming services are stealing their content.
This is very much the same as the F1, you can’t subscribe to it in the UK or Ireland without a Sky subscription.
Sky wanted 40€ a month for the sports package when all I wanted was the F1. No way am I being tied to a minimum €40 a month for something that’s on twice a month for six months.
No wonder people seek alternatives.
Wtf even is a dodgy box? I’ve been hearing the term for ages but never knew what it actually is, like from context it seems like a thing for pirating TV. But since that’s illegal how can there even be a like official dodgy box?
