    Obvious this wouldnt be on freeview as they are targeting people that may watch and subscribe, no chance of the **** doing that.
  14. deleted204244's avatar
    Sky Sports 1 and 2 are on freeview now though, you can subscribe to them individually if you want.

    Knew about this for about a month (thought it was already posted plus it was stuck in the tv guide that they give out) you will have to sub to at least one mix to get the skysports free day.

    Had to laugh, why are some people so incapable of reading a few lines. I have to congratulate you nicster08 on your calm responses.

    Cheers for the heads up.

    Nice post, I wasn't aware. It will be interesting to see SS1 and SS2 in HD and compare them to ESPN.

    Same here. We used to receive the mag a few years ago then we went with Virgin for a while and came back to Sky about 6 months ago. Haven't received the mag yet since coming back but trust me neither of us are missing much which is why I haven't bothered complaining about it!

    Remember if you have Sky+, and presuming the new white cards work the same way as the old blue ones did, if you start recording a few programmes on Sky Sports between now and when the free trial begins even though all you might get is a blue screen on those channels at the moment come the day of the free trial the programmes you've recorded will unscramble and become watchable for the duration of the day!
