So many people, soooo pissed off.”

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

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

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.”

Thanks for clearing that up, platelet. At least now I won't add insult to injury by wasting £18 in a desperate attempt to watch UFC100 comfortably.

I'm so angry about this mess, I'm going to be complaining long and hard to all concerned.

It's almost enough to make you go looking for websites that have names like bestmmatorrents isn't it?

Yep sorry, I have just read the statements above in full now, I just assumed I would have the channel concerned when I heard the announcement earlier but now I find out I cant watch it, slightly annoyed now!!!!

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?

indeed, though I'd register up front as it's likely to be pretty busy, and naturally you'll need some form of software...

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.
