Sky Sports 1 & 2 on Freeview from August 2

[JackFrost]

as long as you get top up tv, have a freeview+ box and pay £23 for SS1 or £32 a month for SS1 & SS2.

I can only see this taking off if the price came down once they'd started to attract interest. Especially when justin.tv is around.

Disappointed it's so expensive - basic sky package with sky sports isn't much more. Won't bother at that price.

If it was £20 per month for both of them I'd have considered it mainly for the Christmas Ashes and the hope that a top of L1 Saints would be on TV a fair bit. But £23 for just SS1 is just silly money.

Can't see any VFM there at all....

Why call it Freeview then? FFS.

way to expensive! be mental to pay that just to avoid having a dish on your house

It's worth it for the WWE coverage, a real sport.

[St Landrew]

Typical SKY. Doesn't tempt me in the slightest. But then, they never will.

 

No that's wrong. If it was free I might watch it a little bit.

Don't pretend it doesn't float yours...

I've seen that BT will also be offering Sky Sports; any idea of the price (and indeed how it works)? I live in a conservation area and can't put up a dish, plus only have analogue cable available, so any other options would be worth investigating.
