If you are still of the view that Sky is deliberately withholding the channel (despite the evidence I have just given), the link below may console you!

Ofcom said it will also consider new regulation of the pay-TV market to open up access to programming and protect competition in a bundled market, a move that could lead to further clashes with Sky. The company has battled the regulator through the courts for years over being forced to wholesale Sky Sports.

well that's why as it has nowtv that the only reason mate and sky own nowtv sky wont let anyone else have SA at all

Sky is an investor in Roku

I haven't an issue with making Sky wholesale its channels but surely BT should also be made to do the same.

Hi all,

Long time lurker here! I am a massive sports fan but sadly can't justify my sports sub anymore. The prices are just too outrageous now days.

Just got rid of everything apart 50mb broadband and line rental which they offered at £24.49 a month for 12 month. Is this a good deal or should I have held out for a better deal?

I will be getting a now TV box and getting a sports week pass only for the weeks that are worthwhile.
