Sky Sports Mix is M+ and above. I believe that's for both SD and HD.

As we posted early this afternoon on the Bay TV thread the channel is still on air (Source Liverpool ECHO) and as far as we know is broadcasting on Virgin UK Channel 159 in the Liverpool area.

Someone has posted that TV Anywhere is showing 517 with 507 greyed out on their M+ package. Maybe it's different on TV Anywhere??

Don't know why they bother paying to encrypt FTA channels.

TV Anywhere only streams from the SD channel numbers. 507 is Sky Sports Mix HD.
