"The 48 new channels will be added to the Sports section of Sky’s Electronic Programme Guide from the 24th of July. The channels are free-to-air and available to any Sky home, including Freesat from Sky homes.
The HD channels are available on any Sky+HD box and do not require a subscription, but do require an HD ready TV. Customers will require a Sky subscription in order to use Sky+."
It's really great news for all current SKY and ex-SKY customers who still have their dish. I wonder how many people in the UK have a SKY or Freesat dish on their house? 15 million, maybe 20 million? Until Virgin agree and announce a similar deal with the BBC, which they must surely be working on right now, only 450,000 of their customers will have similar Olympic access via a TiVo application. Hardly bringing the Olympic experience to the masses.
