Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help us.

Is there a way to see the england 'Match of the day' programme as well as the scotland 'match of the day' programme?

Moving up to scotland later in the year and was just wondering.

Thanks in advance
Sandra

    If you had SKY TV you can get both BBC England and BBC Scotland. Therefore if you had SKY+ you could watch both programmes if you watched one 'live' and recorded the other.

    Hi,
    I watch English MoTD on a Sunday morning on BBC1(Scotland), not sure if it's on on a Saturday night also, think so.

    Also, if you have Sky you can watch any of the English regional BBC1's & 2's.

    Where are you moving to ?

    Cheers

    Hi there. Yeah MoTD is on on a Sat night ..... my OH watches it, but as the other posters say Sky is probably the way to go.

    The only time MoTD isn't on BBC1 SCotland is on Scottish Cup and Scotland international weekends so probably only 5 or 6 a season. As stated, the repeat is on Sunday am and you can watch online too I believe.

    Before deciding on Sky, in true moneysaving mode why not get this when it is launched in 10 days, basic freesat box will only be £49 with no sub.

    Not much info on that site but Argos have equipment on their website, you will get all the BBC and ITV regions via this service.
