Sky and Eurosport

Post by Jack »

Looks like Sky are dropping Eurosport from their packages , hopefully Eurosport will go free to air , which would vastly increase the viewing figures for BSB and WSBK imo .

Time for a change I think, Sky just seems to be full of crap, give or take a few channels, all the good stuff now dropped, or you have to pay extra on top of the cost now which it's criminal

Try FreeSat and a HDR. There is enough on if you record stuff, plus it's free once you've bought the HDR.

You don't get any live bike racing, but you do get the repeats mid week

Its also part of the virgin package , as far as I know its only sky who are possibly going to drop it , I say possibly as I believe that negotiations will be taking place , if they are successful there will be no change , if not I hope that Eurosport goes freeview .
