Teasy Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 So its free on freeview and i cannot view it on Sky cos it says need a sports package ,wtf cannot view it on its own platform mental You don't need the sports package, you need the news package which is included in the basic sky subscription. I agree its strange though that its free on one service but not totally free on Sky.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just want sky sports news, you only need the "news and events" pack, which give you sky news, ssn hd, eurosport etc http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/5846/skyx.png Uploaded with ImageShack.us Fair enough, I'm half right though, it's not included in the basic Sky subscription. I've got Sky News but not SSN. Watch it on Freeview atm, not for long though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubblyDubblyDubbly Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Another reason I won't miss it.... Manchester United have denied that veteran defender Gary Neville is ready to hang up his boots and accept a job with Sky Sports. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbel1 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I've never watched it. It's sports 'news' i.e. unsubstantiated rumour provided by third-rate presenters who are chosen by the House of Murdoch - in other words - fuckwits. Let the fuckers rot and die.

Guest dazzanufc1892 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Really pleased about this, now my friends can stop going on about how sky is a waste of money. To be honest i think sky is a bargain these days, basic package, 200 channels, unlimited 20meg internet, phone line rental + unlimited evening & weekend calls all for £34, cant argue with that.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Freeview is free though, £0 a month. I would get Sky if you could be more flexible with what you want (i.e. just sports!) - but I would never watch 90% of those 200 channels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Loads of countries have TV licenses. At least some of our money goes towards genuinely excellent television: foreigners get to watch utter shite day-in day-out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Sky have just bumped the cost of skysports by £3 shows you what cunts they are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnson293 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Sky have just bumped the cost of skysports by £3 shows you what c***s they are That is so they can raise the wholesale price, as BT Vision have just announced their pricing for Sky Sports 1 & 2 on their platform, which undercuts Sky. Sky responded by saying they will raise the wholesale price (that BT, virgin, etc pay them for the channels), which they can only do if they raise the retail price first... hence the £3 rise to the customer.
