Sports Channel

I would love to watch a sports channel on my TV but have Freeview and Plusnet Broadband and Phone package.I do not want to watch online. Is there any way to subscribe to a Sports Channel?
Thank you.

Plusnet do have Youview trial at the moment. When it is released I would imagine you also be able to subscribe to the BT Sports package also via Plusnet, and watch it on said Youview box.

The person I spoke to knew nothing about Youview so I will send an Email.

Which sports channel? There are dozens.
BT Sport via Plusnet isn't officially announced yet, but rumours are strong, and with PN being BT owned, it's logical that they'll market BT Sports via PN eventually.

Would prefer a Channel where I could watch Tennis and Darts as well as Football and BT seems a bit limited.

I also have an Icecrypt Recordert

Sky or BT are your choices .

Plusnet hope to offer YouView sometime in the summer. The trails have now been extended from just staff to customers too.

The BT/YouView channels offer these sports plus some others -

As I said it was trial at the moment, so they may well not know anything about it over the phone. More info here.

Look at the Plusnet main page, it has it one there via Sky.

BT Sport has WTA tennis.
Obviously there is some darts on BBC.


However, PlusNet may be able to offer Sky Movies depending on whether Sky treat them differently to BT (BT cannot add Sky Sports to their Youview box as Sky say that it is different to the BT Vision box that they have an agreement for - of course the real reason is to attempt to put BT Youview at a disadvantage).


Sky have no problem selling Sky Sport to Talk Talk.
