Not necessarily. Encrypted channels don't even scan on some receivers - running a non-encrypted channel ensures that everybody sees it. Seems a bit overkill for the occasional promo though.

They are all on COM6 / ARQB.
Are we sure Channel 59 is actually broadcasting something? The fact the barker Channel 57 says 'BT Sport 2' in the corner suggests it may just be the BT Sport 2 feed running unscrambled on a temporary LCN. |

Think I might have an answer to this one.
Effectively BT want their BT Sport subscribers to have BT Infinity fibre optic broadband. However, for those who can't get Infinity at launch, the BT Sport promo/advert channel on Channel 57 mentions about a one off connection fee for those with a suitable BT Vision box. I suspect they'll be supplying a suitable CAM module for the box, and so be transmitting the channels on 58/59 accordingly. From the BT Sport Website: "If you don't live in a BT Infinity area and you want to watch on BT TV, you'll be able to watch BT Sport 1 and BT Sport 2 on your BT Vision+ box, through your TV aerial. You won't be able to get BT Sport in HD, or ESPN on your TV, but you can watch ESPN live online at btsport.com or on the BT Sport App. To watch BT Sport over your aerial, you'll need to have BT broadband and a BT TV package, a compatible set-top box, and buy a £10 viewing card if you don't already have one. You can't order BT Sport over your aerial yet, but you can click here to register your interest, and we'll tell you as soon as it's available to order." Thing is: if they can do that for BT Vision plus boxes, why can't they make it more open to people who have a suitable CAM module, a la what Top up TV did with ESPN?? |

I'm with BT Broadband with option 3 (ADSL) and I will be receiving BT Sports 1/2/HD/ESPN for free via Sky and the internet, though I'm going to have to phone them to see if I can receive it on the freeview, I'm sure you don't need to have BT infinity to get BT sports unless they just changed the rule .. . . . .. Give them a ring . . . ..

Because the whole point seems to be to get more broadband customers and sign more people up to BT Infinity. An elaborate and costly marketing exercise.

I wonder if they'll relax that after they've fleeced enough people. It seems crazy to broadcast on DTT and not actually make it available for people to subscribe to without other seemingly unnecessary conditions.

Hi! All
In answer to the question regarding why BT can not broadcast on Top Up TV or in a way in which Freeview viewers can get a CI card, they are obviously wanting and hoping to make so much money from subscribers to BT Sport that they can make a bid to take over Sky's satellite service. We have Freeview TV's and also Sky and sadly unless BT change things I am not happy to pay meaning I will miss out on some football, as I said with Setanta the cost was £10 a month I think and with ESPN it is £10 a month and you get them on both boxes or with Setanta there was a cost and then something like £2.50 for another box although I did take up an offer from the Daily Mirror. Now BT want to charge £12 a month with a connection fee of £15 and free HD for a year where as we get or have been getting ESPN HD free for over a year, and there is not fee for a second box so do you have to pay two lots of £12?. Sadly there is a war on between BT and Sky and the customers are being treated very poorly and those who are not prepared to pay will miss out which is why I have said bring back Setanta, ESPN and ITV Digital. Is it no surprise I hate FATCATS and BT are a private company where as they were once a public company, and they are Tory type people. |

It took *3* years for my parents to have a line installed. We'd probably still be on 300 baud dial up modem if they weren't privatised. |

Is it no surprise I hate FATCATS and BT are a private company where as they were once a public company, and they are Tory type people. and to be honest, this deal is fantastic - I am a BT Broadband customer, and will be getting these 3 channels inclusive to the price of my broadband. I do not have to subscribe to sky for these channels. if you have a different broadband provider, then the answer is simple. move to save money. that is the whole point of them doing this. |

57 seems to be a completely normal Freeview channel, why can't youview boxes see it, when all other devices can ? Or is the box software deliberately blocking it for some reason. I can't see any reason why BT would do that. Do they appear on talktalk's youview boxes ? |

You will be able to see the channels exist on DTT via a Youview Box. You can view any unencrypted transmission. So people will be able to view 57 at the moment and see that 58 and 59 are there but they are encrypted. However Youview boxes have no way of viewing encrypted transmissions over DTT.
There is no point promoting the DTT versions on a Youview box as it doesn't have a card slot. However, I do get the multicast versions on channels 507, 508, 510 & 511

Nope - even unencrypted Channel 57 does not appear on my Youview Box, although it does appear on my Sony TV attached to the same connection
