Adding Sky Sports to my package

[matengawhat]

If i sign up for Sky Sports through my online account does my Sky box need to be connected to my phone line for them to up date my card or is it done over the dish?

I added ESPN the other day on line from work and it was up and running the next day - I don't have my phone line connected to the box.

I'm really narked about ESPN, I paid for a year up front for Setanta, which gives you the ESPN channels as well (so you assume they got a cut of what I paid out) and I've still got a good few months left on it, but if I want to watch ESPN now I have to pay again. Trouble is I don't care about the football, it's only ESPN America I want for baseball and I'm not paying another 9 quid a month for that.

That is bad - I didn't know that you could pay up front for Setanta - glad I didn't do that. Although I am happy that ESPN has an HD channel now (still not seen a real HD show yet - all upscaled so far!) as football on Setanta was weak, if UFC (my second favourite sport) is not going to be shown on ESPN, I will cancel the subscription. £9 a month for just a few football matches is not value for me.

Yeah at the time it seemed like a good idea, I had the cash and it meant one less direct debit a month, I wonder if ESPN have a UK website yet?

Yeah, the amount of time I actually got to watch the baseball probably means it isn't worth the effort in the long run anyway.

Thanks for the link. UFC is on ESPN, so I'm happy. I will be less so if they continue to churn out non HD shows on the HD channel though.

And not a single point of contact to ask them about getting the rest of my subscription for nothing. It's all through Sky, which means no chance!
