Spot on, so to clarify, Sky's broadband pricing could look like:
With Sky TV. ADSL £7.50pm
With Sky Sports ADSL free

With Sky TV fibre upto 38Mb £20pm
With Sky Sports fibre upto 38Mb £15pm

Sky's upto 76Mb fibre standard pricing of £30pm does look expensive compared to Plusnet which offers it at £20pm and VM's upto 100Mb offering of £20.50 + 50p more line rental.

(Sky has already recouped a small amount of the potential free ADSL broadband costs by withdrawing discounted annual line rental.)

The channel looks like from going by the guide that it is a news channel for the forces.

if that is the case then its a shame as think it could be a good channel.

Sky Sports 5 details, Sky not ruling out other providers: http://www1.skysports.com/football/n...opean-football

My thinking is l think we will get it sometime in the next couple of months as l think they have done a deal with Virgin for it but there is no deal with BT l reckon but then again what does the expert on nothing know.

It's slightly odd that this announcment doesn't mention it being an HD service. I'm assuming it will be but it's strange that SKY aren't making any mention of it.

Here goes until August. Sky Sports 5 becomes the new Atlantic/BT Sports/Sky Sports HD. Will we or won't we? Inside sources saying yes and no. Lots of late nights on the day that it is supposed to launch. Remember, though, outside of the top 3, dutch football is like League 2 on a bad day. For the past few seasons they have been giving away the rights so not sure why Sky are making such a big play on obtaining them...........

Yeah, just seen that on twitter. Knew we would get it probably part of the new deal that was signed for the HD channels.

Dave will be happy for once.

Excellent news, so now the waiting game for them to launch. Hoping soon, I like watching golf and it is so much better in HD.
