You have to be careful with BT, they have a habit with many products of auto renewal of contracts so if you dont cancel in month 11 your stuck with them till month 24!

Yes, well aware.

I always note when I get a service, and when I need to cancel.

My understanding is it'll only remain free if you re-contract and commit yourself to a further 12 months.

I don't know if it's illegal or not. I only had a quick look as I'm not that bothered about watching BT Sports. There are some contact details, including live chat, so anyone interested might want to contact them to ascertain the legality of the service if this is a concern to them.

BT say that they "have no plans" to charge for BT Sport after the first year, but that the free HD offer is only for 12 months, so a £3 charge will become payable for this.

All of BT's promo material before August 1st stated that BT Broadband Customers get BT Sport free for a year, that to me makes it sound like they are charging after 12 months. They will need to though. Even BT can't survive off 23,000 paying subscribers

Very true...

In the meantime, what do people think of this for accessing BT Sports etc?

www.pubfootballbox.com

It is illegal but it's more likely to get you into trouble if you are a pub showing it than at home from what I gather from this, take a look at the link
