Its anti competative.

Sky Sports as a channel should be the same, or similar on all platforms.

Sky Sports is a channel, we pay the same a Sky subscribers, we help to buy the rights for Sky Sports and should recieve the games.

I dont necessarily want the red button crap........just the 6-8 extra games we help pay for in our subscription! not too much to ask is it?

Another reason Sky should be split in to Content and service provider, the content producing the channel and selling at wholesale cost to the service provider as a seperate entity. That way Sky can not use the rights which its channels own.............to gain more customer which is anti competative and wrong in my opinion.
