Seems a sensible conclusion to me.

It was that bad that I couldn't find anything that I wanted to watch during their free promotions!
I noticed yesterday that BT SPORT 1 FREE had been added to the V+ EPG. To answer my own question, it is indeed a simulcast of the normal BT Sport 1 for the duration of the 'channel'.
I'd have thought that it would have been easier to simply unencrypt BT Sport 1 for the match; but from what i've been told it's more complicated to turn the encryption on and off for cable than it is for satellite- hence the decision to create what is probably the shortest channel life in the history of cable television in the UK!!!
