I think as a whole Sky Sports Mix is good for people who time to time watch sport but not important enough to subscribe to full Sky Sports. Also don't expect many subs to be gained from Sky Sports Mix watchers to upgrade. If anything they need to concentrate on keeping the subscribers they already have to stay as price increases aren't helping them.”

It doesn't restrict them at all, which is pretty much precisely why it is only FTA on Freeview.
If it was FTA on satellite that is where the problems with rights would kick in.




What advice is it you gave anyway? I thought it was just an opinion.
