Sky Sports for free?

I've been a virgin TV subscriber for several years, but have only occasionally paid for Sky sports, the last time was 7 months ago. I have just noticed that I can access all the Sky sports channels in SD, despite not being currently being subscribed. I can't get them in HD though. Is this standard now?

From email I received on Wed.

Hello,

Get in there – we’ve specially handpicked you to enjoy Sky Sports at no extra cost, from today and for the next 6 weeks.

We’ve already added the Sky Sports channels to your line-up, so the only finger you’ll need to lift is the one that finds ‘sport’ on your Virgin TV box. You won’t be charged a penny to watch these extra channels, and if you don’t want the channels at the end of the 6 weeks, they’ll automatically come off your package.

No. I assume that would come if I had Sky Movies and the HD premium. I used to, but not at the moment.

I wonder if those of us who pay for Sky Sports will be refunded? :rolleyes:

You obviously won't be one of the "chosen ones", so it won't matter.

Yes they all greyed out and when I select it, it say subscribe or cancel.
Both of our Tivo boxes are the same.

I disagree that it doesn't matter. Yes it's understandable that Virgin try to attract new customers to different packages with incentives like this. However there is never a bonus for existing long term customers that are forking out £100+ per month such as your sky sports free for a month. Norm seems to be 2 or 3 price rises a year without any extra content for existing customers.
