(Hatton vs. Mayweather) Box Office on Freesat?

Hey guys

The old man doesn't have the paid for Sky services, but has a Sky card and a Sky box - so receives "Freesat".

Question is, can he order tonights fight which is on Sky Box Office? Or do you have to be a 'paying' Sky customer?

Cheers

You can order it but it can be a pain in the ass to get the SKY CS on the Telephone to agree to it.

You need :
1 your freeview card viewing number (YES, Sky freeview still uses a card )
2 your credit card number and billing details or direct debit details
3 and to be lucky and get a CS person how wants to do it.

But your giving into adverts, that a dangerous path to take.

Why is he 'giving in to adverts'? He wants to watch the fight tonight, as many people do. The only way to do it is to purchase it off Sky, there's nothing sinister about it.

Guess he means Sky will have my dad's address, and he'll be unwittingly bombarded with 'upgrade to Sky' pamphlets etc.
