AAAAArgh, just when I thought I would be able to get some RL fix next season with no SKY and not even any SL, I find out its not on Virgin Media which is what I am on.
Is there no way it will be at all?

Still waiting for an answer to my email of today to Virgin Media. Expecting roughly same reply as last month and the month before:- "Thank you for your e-mail dated 3 September 2011 with regards to the availability of Premier Sports. Unfortunately we don't have plans to introduce this channel just yet......."

Premier Sports TV have requested that customers contact Virgin directly asking for Premier Sports to be made available on their platform.

If I get a positive response, I will post it on here.

It's ironic that Sky Sports are dumping Championship Rugby, but the only way to get it from Premier TV is to subscribe via the Sky platform Barstewards.

Our sponsors must be pretty hacked off - how many times were we on Sky last year? That's all gone now. I remember seeing some BARB figures showing over 150,000 viewers for Championship Thursdays. Well done RFL, well done. Immense.

I'm confused now as the 2 statements seem to contradict each other. I currently have Sky and Sky Sports. I have wanted to dump them for years but, up to now, it has been the only way to get my RL fix (apart from going to games of course). If I now dump Sky in it's entirety will I be able to subscribe to and receive Premier Sports or not?

theres nothing to stop you cancelling sky sports as a premium channel,then subscribing to premier on a reduced
monthly payment.

Can you please clarify as this baffles me. The information I have got from Premier Sports is that is only available as a subscription channel via Sky Channel 433.

How can you get Premier Sports if you don't have Sky? Or are you really saying you do actually have Sky but do not subscribe to Sky Sports?

But seanfax says that he doesnt have sky, just gets premier sports. Surely you need sky to get it????

You don't have to subscribe to sky, all you need is a dish and a box.

After your first 12 months, you are free to cancel all subscriptions to sky, but keep the box and watch free to air channels and subscription services provided by third parties.

If you don't have sky, go on ebay and buy a second hand box, then get a local aerial company to come and put a dish up for you.

i always thought the sky tv services run via your sky card

Re: Subscribing to Premier Sports? : Wed Oct 19, 2011 5:45 pm  

If Premier Sports is like Setanta (washes my mouth out and spits) then you should be able to get it through a type of freeview box where you can pay for extra channels through a top-up card. I may be wrong, though.
