An extremely welcome addition to the channel portfolio for Sky.
It's about time and is very well needed, although many people have disagreed with this in the past.
Hopefully this will launch soon.
I do agree, the quality of the picture won't be so good.

Soon changed your tune.
I have always said we need this so my tune has stayed exactly the same!!!
No I mean how you've been furious at Sky for such a long time cause they "don't give us what we want and do things then tell us we need them"
Now you love Sky for such a wise decision.
Where in his post does he say he now loves Sky?
He clearly states that the channel is a welcome addition (which he would, he has been asking for it for long enough), but i can' see where he has changed his stance on his thoughts about Sky.
There isn't any confirmation or info, for all we know the label might be a mistake.
Sky Sports 5 is your new home of European football. You will be able to see UEFA Champions League, Spanish La Liga, Dutch Eredivisie, National Eurpean qualifiers and more. This channel is part of your Sky Sports Pakage. All you need to do is activate it

Could Sky Sports 5 be a Sky Sports America channel maybe?
Rights to every qualifier from september, I believe (approx 400 games?). Eredivisie - good to see back - wonder what sort of coverage: would love to see regular 11am games on Sunday. La Liga - more games eventually (almost all avoid Sat 3pm if last season's scheduling continues). Or will BT wrestle La Liga from Sky's grasp - although they have their hands full already with min. 3 Euro leagues?!)?

As I've said in another thread, Sky lose the rights to the Champions League after the 2014-2015 football season. And of the course the Spanish Football will be up for grabs. So what will Sky Sports programs look like on a Tuesday and Wednesday night from the 2015-2016 football season?

They could shuffle down. For example SS 1-5 would be 401-5 with SS News 406 and SS F1 407 (with SS 3 SD/HD 409 moved further down perhaps towards SS 4 SD/HD which is at 435 which is HD/SD depending whether you have HD or not).
But can we rule out Sky Sports 5 being a rebranding of the red button service/Sky Sports Xtra service? It's a possibility, surely?
The way that it currently loops through on the test/glitch to the info about the channel makes me think that the EPG could stay the same - with SS 5 being an "interactive" service activated via the red button is a possibility. Potentially you would just "activate" Sky Sports 5 by pressing the red button and it wouldn't appear on the EPG as a channel (as with their red button content currently).
Online, Sky Sports Xtra found by clicking "channels" here could just be moved up and called Sky Sports 5 http://www1.skysports.com/watch/sport-on-sky That would continue to show one stream of "SS 5" content whereas via the Sky box there could be the match choice option like what you commonly get currently. Or does the fact that it is a test channel on its own currently rule all that out?
A full time channel on the EPG at 405 is the obvious and best option.
More content and less SD crappy quality behind red button.
I'm sure sky will say something at some point......
Cant seem to replicate that here
I saw it on an HD box, so can't answer your question re SD boxes, Digi Man.
