Virgin, BT and TopUPTV on Freeview are three that spring to mind right away.

and you can get Sky content on those, without paying, can you?

You didn't mention without paying just



I gave you three places that you can get Sky services.

I think it was fairly clear what I was getting at, to get Sky you have to pay Sky, one way or another.

Anyway, it matters not.

No you were talking crap and now you are trying to cover yourself, again.

As the premium channels are pay channels of course you have to pay, you do have a choice of provider, you'll still have the annual price rise though.

no, I wasn't talking crap, you were just mis-reading what I posted.

remember, a green username doesn't make you always right Graeme.

A direct, unedited quote



You want Sky services you have to pay, but Sky aren't the only retailer of its services.

Apologies in advance if this is 'old hat', but Sky don't seem to have promoted this much... Following a recent software upgrade now means that you now don't have to subscribe to both Sports and Movies to view 3D


If you have Sky Sports HD, then you can now watch Sports on the 3D channel at no extra cost. (If you don't have the Movies, then any 3D films will continue to be blocked). If you have the entertainments package, then any Documentaries and Music shown on the 3D channel can be viewed also.
Just log into your Sky account on line (or via the i phone app) and follow the "Activate Sky 3D" links..

Not really related but on the topic of satellite TV. I currently have a poor freeview signal, no internet (use a neighbours - with permission) and no phoneline (recently moved in).

I was wondering if anybody knows about good promotions/deals on Sky/Virgin packages?

If you ain't got cable, you're fooked

Have you considered Freesat? They're supposed to have better coverage than Freeview, and you won't have to give your money to that scumbag Murdoch.
