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.
Good info, thanks.

That was what was suggested when the surveys went out 2 or 3 years ago. From what I recall, 5 EPL and up to 10 EFL per season.

I imagine one of those will be a third pick on the final day of the season, they did that a few years back putting it on Sky 1

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Rollover seems a nice idea but data allowances seem a little low for heavier users , competitors seem to offer more for similar prices.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

I was expecting more competitive rates from Sky.

By comparison, BT's Plusnet subsidiary has entered the market with the following competitive introductory rates:
4Gb data 1,500 minutes £10pm
2Gb data 1,000 minutes £7.50pm

VM's rates are
4Gb data 2,500 minutes £15pm
2Gb data 2,500 minutes £12pm

Sky's rates are more expensive than either of the above providers.
3GB for £15pm unlimited calls for Sky customers, charged for non-Sky
5GB for £20pm unlimited calls for Sky customers, charged for non-Sky

More depressing reality if ever it was needed that Boxing has totally sold its soul.
