I would rather stream football matches and other events illegally for free than subscribe to Sky Sports. Sky Sports still don't show live Saturday 3 PM football matches for some reason.

It is however totally wrong we have to suffer, when in Spain La Liga always has a match shown at the regular kick off time, same with Bundesliga and Serie A. F1 is a rubbish sport these days anyway, so having to have that channel if I subscribe to sports, with no option to opt out, they can stuff it.

Buzzjack's Finest Alcoholic. Joined: 19 November 2011 Posts: 10,365 User: 15,367	Yeah it might have been one of those. I mean I pay £26.50 for the full package so for me it's a rip off either way, but if I was to get it, I would only get the Football channels and the Arena one (if that's the one with tennis). I'm assuming Sky Sports News will still be free?

BuzzJack Legend Joined: 4 November 2013 Posts: 30,529 User: 20,053	Well price aside it's a pretty good idea! I really enjoy that Premier League Seasons highlight reel they infrequently air but previously I had to search through all 5 channels to find out if it "might" be on. Now it's a lot easier just to search through ONE channel. Looks more organised & easier to find things than a generic number sequence.

Nah. Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 15,566 User: 27	Agreed Dobbo, it should be easier to find things you want to watch. I remember watching a T20 match and then looked for the repeat as there was an interesting umpire decision I wanted my dad to see (my dad used to play cricket) and it took me a while to find it had moved to Sky Sports 3.

Sky Sports Mix isn't in the sports section any longer - just in the entertainment package!
