Free Hidden Sports Channel on Sky.

Spotted this one on Your secret forum.co.uk. Just tried it and got it to work, but not sure what times the channel transmits.
This is how you get it:

Go to services
Press system set up
Add channels
Change the frequency to 11390
Change the V to a H
Find channels
Go to Sports nation
Store channel (make sure you get a tick next to it)
Follow on screen instructions
To view the channel go to services, other channels and select the new channel you have.

There is some mention of it here; https://www.media247.co.uk/skydigital/news.php
Scroll down to a headline saying 'New FTA channel on the way?' It says 'no known start date for this channel' but the article is dated 5th Nov. If you scroll back up to the top of the page in a box at the top left hand side it says 'Just launched' Sports Nation.

    Glad if youve found something you would'nt have known about, but feel slightly silly for not having checked whether there was an easier way of locating it to start with! :o
  • any chance you could post a link to the web site which you found it on, looks like a good site?
