BT Sport

Options
A bit of advice required please.

I am under contract to Sky Fibre, I have a Sky box showing free channels and 2 BT Youview boxes for recording freeview a couple of Chromecasts and Amazon Firesticks thrown in too...

I know I can get BT Sport via my Sky box but would rather have it through my Youview boxes or Chromecasts...is this possible without having BT Broadband?

    No, it isn't. You would need to enquire with BT how much it would cost you on your SKY platform, as they offer stand-alone BT Sport to SKY users only. And TalkTalk and VM.

    It doesn't sound like the OP is a currently a Sky TV subscriber if he's only able to access the free channels via his decoder.

    That will be fine. A SKY subscription isn't required to access BT Sport, only an active FSFS card.

    Hi. I want to be able to watch BT Sport. I have Sky tv and Virgin broadband. My Sky and Virgin are on good deals with a while to run. It seems that the only 2 options are the BT Sport:

    a) one year deal of £0 for 3 months and then £26.99 for 9 months.
    b) monthly deal of £21.99 for 3 months and then £26.99 with a £30 set up fee.

    This seems expensive. I have tried to haggle a better deal through BT Sport but with no luck so far.

    Are there any other 100% legal and reliable ways of getting BT Sport HD?

    thanks
  • I get it through my Youview box with PlusNet - BT sport 1 + 1 extra (BT Lite) is part of the entertainment package which is normally £5 a month (and includes Eurosport). The full BT sport package with them is £5 a month (11 channels). PlusNet also charge £2 a month to get HD versions of the extra subscribed channels. So in theory it would cost £7 a month to get BT sport in HD through PlusNet. I pay about £32 a month for fibre, phone line, calls and tv (including HD but not full BT sport). Hope that helps.

    No, as for what you want the above are the only 2 options available. BT only gives mega money discounts on such after ones first year of subscription, when it comes to renewal.
