wont do anything to stop the revenue decline, probably cause more people to leave, vicious cycle when you have to raise prices on a falling subscriber base.

What do we call this, just pure arrogance stemmed out of the monopolistic position. One of my colleague just cancelled their subscription and ordered a Kodi IPTV box as mentioned here before.

One cancellation = 10 subscribers to offset the cancellation!
Looking like the print media is Sky TV - refusing to face the inevitable.
Kodi IPTV has really picked up in the past 18months or so since the boxes themselves have become better equipped hardware wise. It's still relatively under the radar.
Good time buy into it and enjoy it while the user base is relatively low and uncrowded.

The fat cats know what they need to do but will be unwilling to do so until its too late. Unfortunately for them, the sports channel which has been the golden goose for so long may eventually be their demise.

And while the streaming sources used by some of the Kodi plug-in's haven't been shutdown by the rights holders.
At current pricing there is 100% no chance of me subscribing, but at say $30 for basic and another $30-40 for ALL of the add-ons I 100% would.
Really what I would prefer is cheaper streaming of their sport channels (or just all content) because set top boxes are obsolete now. Neon for $20/month is OK but fan pass for $56/month is insane.
And charging extra (especially $10) just for HD in this decade is the most backwards thing ever, there's no excuse for it to not be HD by default. I haven't watched a single thing in SD since '06
But that's all just a dream and will never happen, so not something I personally choose to invest in.

Sky TV have relied on the inertia of their subscriber base not to do anything else, they have deployed the MySky box which effectively records all the subscribers favourite content that they have to hand back when they quit the subscription (and made it a black box so the content can't be copied), made the very smallest possible investment in SkyGo and Neon as well as trying to corner the content that some demographics is more important than putting the food on the table.
There will always be those who have the means and know how to go elsewhere for their content or move away from linear delivery of the content. Sky are betting that their exclusive content and that the vast majority of their subscriber base is too lazy, too ignorant, too blindly loyal to care shelling out more for what they serve up.
And mostly they have been exceptionally good at milking the subscribers for a long period of time. It might be the milking of the cash cow but they're betting that despite losing subscribers they will continue producing lots of cash to keep enough of the content under wraps and keep doing enough to make it easy enough to keep that Sky decoder in the cabinet under the TV.
