I seem to remember having this in the past with Virgin Media but they stopped it about 5 or 6 years ago? I also seem to remember at some point if you had this deal SKY Sports 3 and 4 got thrown in at no additional cost.

Can someone verify this or is it just my mind playing tricks? Why did they stop it?
Sky customers can get Sports 1 & 5 for a £13.50 per month saving, eg if they only watch English football as this will give (almost) every match.
They can also get Sports 2 & 5 if they prefer cricket with lesser football like Scottish games.
WWE fans can also save with this as almost all WWE is now on Sports 5.

Looking at above it's not so different now for Sky customers.

I'm not so sure about your memory.

I thought it was that you got Sports 3 for free with either Sports 1 or 2.
Then Sports 4 came free with both.

Sports 5 was added a few years ago to gauge support for Champions League in its final year.

Sports Xtra was made internet only too at some point.
It was originally a channel.
