I think that it is a kind thing to do, passing on a bonus if people want Sky. :y :y
The thing that confuses me is that I have Freeview TV via the aerial, and all I want is F1 and maybe Cricket so what is the best way to get it from a UK company? I don't want the whole package or a bloody BOX, one contoller is enough :-/ Can I just buy the channel I want eg SKY1, it shows up on the list of channels I can receive along with all the soft porn ones ;D ;D ( Red Tube et al is free ;))   
BT Vision.  I think the sports packages still work out £20 though, and its still a seperate box :(

Can't disagree there :y

But (personally) don't think Sky fare any better. With no disrespect for Sky intended.

Tunnie !    Any news as to when it will be available on Android ?

All details I have is end of the year  :(

Good news is Sky Go, matches your home subscription, so if you have sports and Movies you get those on your phone too. (for no cost)


But can you have free sky go if you don't have sports (just movies)? Doesn't say clearly in the app description :-/ :-/

The App is free, but its linked to what ever you subscribe to at home.

There is an iPhone App called "Mobile TV" this is for the iPhone, and has the channels i listed above, this is not linked to your SkyID and is not linked to your home subscription.

This is £5/m if you are a customer & subscribed to Sky Sports 1, £8/m if you are not.

Sky Go is a separate product, this is linked to your SkyID and matches what your home subscription is. If you have just movies and entertainment (no sports) then you get News & Movies only on the phone.

If you have sports, and no movies, then you get News & Movies.

If you don't have either Sports or Movies, you just get news.

Cheers Tunnie,
I'll see what I am going to do next F1 season, after we see how it goes on the BBC with half of the races shown in highlight form. I am loathe to pay for TV which also gets revenue from advertising. :(

For F1, there will be no advertising during the live race. Nor are there any during the Films.

I just Sky+ everything and fast forward adverts  :)

I realise that, but my point is that I pay for a Public Broadcast Channel (BBC), and get FREEview in with the cost, the other commercial channels have to fund themselves from advertising. Why can't SKY just get the advertising to pay not the subscribers?
How much is paid to cousin WAYNE, and his muppets? SKY is the curse of the working mans game FOOTBALL.
Still who am I ? we only watch TV for about 3 hours a day if there is a decent drama on, and the news.
I just happen to be an F1 fan one who is deprived of watching a sport I like, without having to pay for all the crap( for me) that comes with it >:(
Thin edge of the wedge in my opinion we will end up paying for all TV and not just the BBC which in my humble opinion should compete on a level playing field with the commercial channels, and be supported by advertising.
If you want the Asian network, Radio3 and the World Service etc then subscribe :y
