Sounds like they could offer some kind of day pass although £10 a day seems pricey considering a Sky Sports sub is only £21.00 a month.

Looking at it from a unbiased point of view £10 a day is utterly laughable as there is not a hope in hell of customers paying that price and one has to wonder when they offer Sky Atlantic how much are they going to ask for that as well.:td:

I agree however let's wait and see until the info is confirmed through official channels.

If the information is accurate it's almost like they're turning SKY Sports in a PPV service. Although £10.00 sounds steep, there would be a market for it. Last year when SKY had exclusive rights to Rangers Vs. Celtic the pubs where I live where packed with fans who didn't have SKY at home. If they had the option to watch the game at home for £10.00 it wouldn't surprise me to see 4 or 5 mates splitting the cost of everything and enjoying the game at home i.e. £10 PPV, some beers and snacks.

There is a suggestion that SKY are the favourites to show Ricky Hattons comeback fight at the end of November. If the event is shown on SKY Sports, and this £10.00 for 24 hours access to SKY Sports is in place, you might find this will be a massive success for SKY. It's cheaper than their usual PPV price of £15.00, and for the first time it'll be available to a massive audience by way of various devices that support Now TV including Youview.

Great news, just goes to show that all Sky's innovation in the TV space is paying off for them. Sky Go is a very nice, free addition to my Sky subscription. :)

So long as they continue to screen my favourite sports at a price I'm happy to pay I'll continue to subscribe.

Yes indeed but they must be extremely careful in the next few years as overprice your goods too much and people will just decide enough is enough and go elsewhere to get their entertainment at a cheaper price.

Sky customers pay £21.00 , I wouldn't be happy paying £25.75 for Sky Sports especially with only two of the channels in HD and not all events available on the red button.
