Default Sky Sports free all weekend!
Just been told by a friend who works for Sky that it's free all weekend for those who don't subscribe. I can't check as I have SS channels so I'm posting this up taking his word for it, someone else might be able to confirm.

However, having checked what's on, not sure I'll watch much !!

Cricket, WWF crap, PGA Golf (when everyone who is anyone is at the Open) and Horse trials..

Suppose Sky Sports F1 may get a view

Sky do a fantastic job of the F1 and like this weekend I'm off work so I have it on most of the day Saturday. You'll love the channel, though I did like Jake DC and Eddie. If it's free now you'll probably get all the practice replays.

Will this work on a Freesat box as opposed to a Sky box? Had a look on my Humax and they are all encrypted.

I take it you have to have a current sky subscription of some sort to get this. I have a Sky box but now use it for a pvr as I no longer subscribe to any packages and Sky Sports is still unavailable for me.

I would imagine that would be the case, though couldn't say for certain.

Sky Sports coverage of F1 is so much better than the BBC coverage which was never any where near the same league. They don't have any adverts while the racing is being covered either.

Their coverage of so many other sports is also outstanding.
