    Yes, over the net on your TV.

    But if you don't want Infinity and you don't want a BTV box, you can view the new channels via your Sky box.

    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    No prob's.

    I'm looking forward to getting YouView too, at some point in the future. I currently watch the channels via a BTV box over Infinity and the quality of the new HD channels is stunning. Far better than my Sky HD box.

    In regard to recording, a BTV box can record these channels right now and YouView boxes will be enabled for recording in just a few short weeks time. So I'm just holding off atm, just to see how things settle down.

    I have a Humax YouView box but no subscription to BT or Sky. Will I be able to access the sports channel on a pay per view scheme?

    Sorry, I don't understand the question. What is your set up?

    I have a Humax Youview box attached to normal digital aerial so can access all Freeview channels plus Youview services.

    Then unfortunately not. Though you should get the new apps that are coming (dependent on line speed).
