Top Up TV has announced that it will bring Sky Sports 1 & Sky Sports 2 to over 10 million Freeview homes in the UK when it launches its new sports packs on Monday 2 August 2010. This is quite a coup for the sports fans out there who don’t want to subscribe to Sky, Virgin and BT as Sky Sports 1 & 2 combined with ESPN will give you live access to 2010/11 Barclays Premier League games and Champions League matches previously only available on satellite and cable, plus a vast array of other sports.

This is also the first time customers are able to get Sky Sports without taking any bundled services like broadband and phone, and is the lowest stand-alone price for sport in the UK, with Sky Sports 1 available for just £22.99 a month, Sky Sports 1 & 2 for £31.99 a month and the whole pack, Sky Sports 1 & 2 and ESPN, for just £39.99 a month.

Sky Sports Coming to BT Vision

digital-tv-advice — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 14:50:27 +0000

Great news for BT Vision customers – from 1 August BT Vision customers will be able to view Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2, that’s just in time for the start of the Premier League football season on 14 August. This is all connected, of course, to the recent ruling that forced Sky to sell their channels wholesale to competitors Virgin Media and BT at a more competitive price.

The deal means that BT customers will be able to sign up for the subscription channels from early July, but we don’t have any pricing details yet.

BT Retail chief executive Gavin Patterson said: “We are delighted to have reached this milestone, which means that we can be certain of offering Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2 to our customers before the football season kicks off. We know our customers will be keen to sign up for the two channels.”

Stay tuned for the price details!

Best Sky Sports Deal

Ted — Tue, 11 May 2010 22:47:51 +0000

With the World Cup starting very shortly a lot of people are looking for the cheapest way to get Sky Sports in time for all the action, and if you’re not necessarily bothered about having HD (for now anyway – you can always add it later) then this deal is a corker.

Until recently the Sky+ deals without HD came with a free Sky+ Box but were subject to a standard £30 installation – now you can get that free too if you take out Sky Sports or Sky Movies, and a £25 M&S voucher into the bargain.

The Sky+ with Sky Sports package is £27 a month plus standard Sky or BT line rental and includes

Free Sky+ box
Free standard set-up
Sky Sports 1 or 2
1 Other Entertainment Pack – see Sky TV packages
2Mb Sky Broadband with free evening & weekend UK calls
£25 M&S Voucher when you join online

As well as 10MB speed, size ‘L’ broadband features unlimited downloads, a PC security package, a free wireless router and 25 free photo prints per month – the size ‘M’ phone includes weekend UK landline calls.

Broadband ‘L’ is normally £12.50 a month plus £11.99 for the phone line. If you take this exclusive deal Virgin will give you the first 2 months broadband free and also credit your first bill with £15, so you’re actually getting just over 3 months.
