BT Sport - available from Nov 5th

I just received this notification http://community.plus.net/blog/2013/10/25/bt-sport-comes-to-plusnet/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_mediu...
Personally it has no interest for me but I am sure some of you will want it

Re: BT Sport - available from Nov 5th

It's free to watch this weekend 25-27 Oct on the Sky platform (and probably FreeSat too if you manually add it) if anyone is interested in seeing what it is like.
The free hours are:
Friday – 6pm – 4am
Saturday – 11.30am – 4am
Sunday – 11.30am – 6am

How do you manually add BT sport to freest?

Re: BT Sport - available from Nov 5th

I don't believe you can.
On my Humax Foxsat-HDR I can switch to 'non-freesat mode' and scan all available channels from the satellite my dish is aimed at but in 'Freesat mode' I am restricted to the Freesat channels.

Correct , you need a Sky Viewing card.

Re: BT Sport - available from Nov 5th

There will be a separate announcement about that in due course - until then you can't

The YouView part of this announcement is only part that is remotely interesting to me. Do we have any idea what the likely costs will be?

Re: BT Sport - available from Nov 5th

I can already get BT Sport free as part of my Virgin tv package, a lot of people are going to be disappointed after all the hype made about BT Sport  Lips_are_sealed
Shame it's also locked down to customers with a Sky viewing card, be more of an announcement if smart TV's & pvr's could get connected to BT Sport via Plusnet.

Two different things all together really.  I've no particular interest in sport so I would have missed the tiny mention of You View in the BT Sport announcement.

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

Re: BT Sport - available from Nov 5th

Given they are two totally different things I'm surprised we've been told we must discuss them in the same topic - but there you go!

It just keeps things tidy
What does surprise me is the apparent lack of interest/comment on the BT Sport bit and I have to admit I have no idea what You View is  Embarrassed

Well that explains why you thought it appropriate to restrict us to one topic! I suggest you go to http://www.youview.com/ and find out what it's about!
The range of content on BT Sport looks pretty pathetic and you can only get it from Plusnet if you have a Sky receiver. Well sorry, if you have to have Sky doesn't that somewhat negate the point of BT Sport? That's what make that announcement a non-event.
Edit:

Normally, when people go off topic and start discussing something totally different you split topics - so the more I think about this the more perverse it seems!
