Help needed - British Eurosport Channel advice please

I was wondering whether anyone could help me out. My 69 year old father-in-law is obsessed with cycling (he is in fact going to be the doing a sponsored bike ride from Land's End to John O'Groats soon), and really wants to watch his favourite sport on tv. He has been told that he can get this on the British Eurosport channel. My question is, what would be the best/cheapest way for him to get this channel. I should point out that at the moment they only have standard analogue (5 channels) tv on an ancient tv with no scart sockets. He did phone Sky who wanted his card details there and then (typical!) and told him it would cost him £15 a month. On the one hand he hates spending any money, but he also wants to watch his cycling. Can anyone out there help?
