Nobby Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 this article is just confusing http://www.ukfree.tv/fullstory.php?storyid=1107051328 Finally a competitor to Sky Sports News, a not unpopular channel has been launched. Starting today, Sky Sports News, a free channel on cable and satellite (but not Freeview) will provide round the clock news for the UK sports fans. The channel will be particularly welcome in Virgin Media homes - on channel 518, as Sky Sports News took it's ball home from that service earlier in the year. Freesat (and Sky subscribers) will find the channel on 435. What do you think of the new service? Does it compensate for the loss of Sky Sports News? Would you prefer this channel to Sky Sports News on Freeview? There is the vacated daytime ABC1 slot - perhaps Disney will sell the slot to Setanta Sports News?

Published on 29th Nov 2007 at 07:12:13 by Brian Butterworth Why is it confusing ? It's on free say (skys version of freeview) Sky and Virgin. Isn't on Freeview as yet.

Fugazi Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I think it got Setanta confused with Sky, 2nd line down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Virgin 518. Its weird as owt. Its like Skysports News, but backwards. Eg. tables on the left, not right, and the overview of headlines are at the top Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonTastic Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 It's not nice, the sport itself is pretty good but there is only a tiny part of the screen devoted to the actual video the rest is taken up by tables, huge news bulletins and then two strap bars at the bottom with rolling info. Hopefully that'll change soon enough. Oh and the other annoyance is the background noise of people working. What's with that it sounds crap, sounds like some sort of Children in need phone appeal.

Mowen Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 There's too much stuff moving. It's distracting. The other problem it seems to have is that it can't show as many clips of football as sky can, so won't be as interesting to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 It's so shit Too many things going on at the same time. The tables on the left hand side changing far to quickly. Just a complete failure compared to sky sports news. And the presenters ? I need not have to say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
