BT Conform it will be on Sky, BT TV & VM (In the coming weeks though) for the rest, BT Sport Extra launches today!
Of course you can watch it in HD online (720p) where as they TV is only 576i SD”
576i/25 > 720p/25 for sport IMO. As long as it isn't Freeview-esque bit rates of course.

Can't you can add it manually to "other channels" or whatever it's called and record from that?
Also, whilst the channel branding is "BT Sport Extra", its official name on satellite is "BT Sport Extra 1", so perhaps a sign of things to come. Curiously, the "BT Sport Mosaic" channel (the menu screen with channel and red button options) is incorrectly set to a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is also true of many (all?) of Sky's red button menu screens, although you wouldn't see it if your box is set to 1080i since it stretches 4:3 to 16:9 anyway. I doubt it's a coincidence but I also can't think of any reason for this.
