Have you tried the Chrome browser? That works fine for me with BT sport

You need to subscribe to BT Sport online on the website. As a BT broadband subscriber it costs you nothing extra.

iI managed to get a pic....... supposedly HD !
nothing like the quality of sky tv football.... but looks
like Im stuck with it
Ill have to try and find a schedule and figure out whats
on in the coming week !

If you have Sky you know you can get BT sport on there, You just get BT to authourise your card, you can do it on their website.
As for the picture quality you have to pay extra for the HD broadcasts, £3 a month, it is only SD that is now free.

I think to get bt to transfer any kind of pic onto my
sky box will cost extra a month
besides I dont have any package with sky right now .

xxtimbo · 15/09/14 - 14:44

Im guessing ... there are two channels ?
thought... it looks pretty good... master class from
ricky ponting... lots of other goodies, then I realised I was looking at sky sports schedule !

looks like theres live soccer tonight... on BT Verona v Palermo.... cant wait !

xxtimbo · 15/09/14 - 15:14

just got bt chan 1 in slim browser...
2 secs later blue screen and crash .....

getting these channels on the net is becoming a pain !

I tried everything to get BT Sport online in Windows 8, including all the BT FAQ ideas, uninstalling and reinstalling all my browsers, uninstalling and reinstalling Silverlight, basically I tried the lot. Nothing worked so in the end I gave up and had to reboot into an old installation of Windows XP, or a separate new install of Windows 8, both of which were fine (but I didn't want the hassle of reinstalling all my programs into the new W8). Sky Sports online has always been fine, no issues with that at all.

Then a few months ago, I upgraded my PC and had to reinstall Windows 8. BT Sport worked a treat, first time and every time. So ultimately, it's possible that there is no other way to fix it - good luck anyway!

sO THERES a channce an ex sky customer can get
it via sky ?

theres obviously a sky card... prob outdated .... down there in
the box

I just got the impression it was an extra 5 quid a month...

Just got both 1 and 2 on fire fox browswer....
even though Im an XP diehard and the browser is out of date.

.

As long as you're still getting the free-to view channels (Sony Movies/LFC and a few others) then the card is still active and being updated so you stand a good chance.
Follow the instructions on the BT link and enter the card number - good luck.

This won't work. My situation exactly. I have rung BT and they have activated, the problem is Sky not recognising the card as valid, so any updates BT make don't work. Sky won't budge unless you subscribe.

aweful pic at first , but after 60 seconds a good... hd
pic came thru

In the end , no complaints... good game and good pic

well done BT TV

I watched it on my PC too and yes it was good, quick and easy to log on, no glitches and the lag over 'live' BT Sport on the Sky Box was only 15 seconds or so.

The bandwidth is 1.3Mbps when in an average size window (so SD) and shoots up automatically to 3.75Mbps and HD-lite (probably 720p) when fullscreen. Only takes 5 seconds to buffer and adapt to HD on a fast fibre connection. And I get it in HD when I haven't paid for HD on the Sky box!
