Amen, brother.
I've just been on to Virgin Media. Apparently the Sky Sports channels cost £18.00 pm and the minimum contract length is 1 month. Can anyone tell me with any authority whether subscibing to the Sky Sports channels would give me access to Sky Channel 433? Virgin CS seemed baffled by this question. So many people, soooo pissed off. 433 was racing world, part of the setanta package. It's being broadcast FTA, so you don't even need a sky box, freesat would do Quote:

The channel is not available on cable (Virgin Media) or Freeview, so unless you have a satellite dish, your only option is to watch live and free via UFC.com. |

I think the "sky" bit is a bit misleading, it's the sky platform they are talking about not the sky packages.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the reply I gave some moments ago
Will this be repeated on the UFC site? I cant watch it live but will it just be live and then gone for good or will it still be around? Or will I have to pay for that archive thing? |

Just one thing to remember guy's, at the moment there is nothing showing on the sky epg for you to record / tape, hopefully sky will update it so there is but if they don't and you just leave it on channel 433 and just tape it the environmental auto standby will kick in and your box will switch off before the end so make sure your auto standby is switched to the OFF position. (services, 5, off)
Unless your staying up until 6am of course.
