Sky Sport channels

[TractorGirl327]

Is it possible to get *all* the Sky Sports channels from BT via my youView box?  I'm currently paying a small fortune each month for the Main Event which doesn't always show the game/match that I want to see.

Not at present. BT and Sky have agreed a wholesale distribution of their respective sports channels but we will not see all the Sky Sports channels until 2019.

Oh well that's only next year isn't it ... think we'll wait rather than switch over to Sky which we *really* don't want to do!!!!!

An interim / occasional workaround is to use NowTV on a phone, tablet or laptop casting it to your main TV (or over an HDMI cable) though it does mean you have to watch live.

Do we know when next year ?

I was going to ask the same any news when next year . I had to pay quite a bit for one game as it was on Sky Sports Football the other night & would like to avoid that again !

I was annoyed last night that when there were a couple of important Premiership matches they decided to show a Scottish match on BT Sport!

That’s probably because Sky had the rights to that particular pot of matches

 Bournemouth-City - They've just put it on - 38 minutes in. Frustrating as hell eh?

Absolute Joke 😡 I got a reply from Sky Helpteam who claim they dont have a Sky Sports Extra channel what ?

Does this mean BT have created this channel ? Surely it wouldnt have the sky name ?
