			BT Sports 1 HD and BT Sports 2 HD are supposedly testing on SKY at the moment.
 BT Sports 1 HD is supposedly on 11.585 - H - 27500 - 2/3 (Channel name 50660)
 BT Sports 2 HD is supposedly on 11.527 - V - 27500 - 2/3 (Channel name 50360)
 
 I tuned both into my SKY box. When you try to view you get the following message:
 
 "Call the broadcaster to upgrade your subscription to receive this HD channel".
 
 The EPG for both channels state:
 
 "BT Sport is coming soon".

 |  To be honest Chad it wouldn't shock me if Sky and BT managed to reach a last minute wholesale deal which was mutually beneficial to both , only my opinion though for what that's worth.    |
