Next Weekends Boxing Coverage on Sky

dr_devious · Post by **dr_devious** » 15 Jan 2007, 05:18

Does anyone know when the free coverage of next weekends boxing is on Sky? They usually show the re-runs on Sun on PPV, and the whole show free the week after. When is the free coverage on the week after of the Hatton fight?

I'm short of cash but I'm still buying the PPV. This show could be on from 10pm to 5 or 6 am. That's value for £15, and it'll be great to watch Witter, Hatton & Castillo live. Don't know why anyone would wait for the freebie.

The way Telewest rip me off an extra £15's nothing. The bastards never said anything about having to make Dec payments 2 weeks fvcking early, because the pudenda wanted to con me out of an extra £10 late payment fee.

Set up a direct debit, best way to avoid the con tricks

I can't wait for the freebie, but I can buy the PPV.

Was going to find a download but they threw Witter on so looking forward to Witter calling out Hatton afterwards.

Looks like I'll be up and running for Saturday, just phoned Sky up, should be connected in a jiffy.

Now all I need is bulldog internet and I can tell BT to go poke themselves.

James, why don't you consider this sky package of Sky and Sky broadband for £26. Thats a good price. I know its only the basic sky package you will recieve - but its still broadband for about £8 quid a month.

I'm paying about £26 a month to BT. There is a shit load of small print with them, that I didn't read.

Because I don't have a debit card at the moment, BT won't give me a phone line at my new flat, as they are demanding a 25 quid deposit, which can only be paid by debit card.

Hence I'm trying to get bulldog broadband instead, as they don't require a BT line, although it looks like they charge 99 quid for installation.

I've not heard of that company, but know you need a functional phone line to have Sky Digital. Unless you are nice to the installers and say "yes, I am just waiting for it to be connected)

You can still get PPV via phone - I do that cause the my phone line by the Sky is bust (it wasn't originally so I had no problems with installation) and I don't want to live in a place with extension leads everywhere - its cost a £1 extra.

They are probably just saying that to make you fork out for the live PPV.

Spoke to Sky, they said I don't need the phone line, but that one will have to be installed eventually. I'm not sure why, possibly they send updates to the sky box software via the phone line.

Any road up, debit card will be coming soon, and I can join the rest of the world.

Could do, but if you don't have enough in the bank, the bank then fvcks you over with £30 charges

When I got my own Sky installed about 4 years ago they were very firm that I had to have a phone line installed, which was a royal pain in the arse. They would even write to me afterwards if the line was unplugged, reminding me of our "agreement".

Nobody gives a shit about all that interactive bollocks. Waste of time.

Guys, do what I do. I've got a "treated" cable box so I get the fights for nowt through my digital line, it cost me £85 notes from a dodgy mate but has well paid for itself. Sorted

£80 sounds cheap for non-stop access to Sky box office and Sky sports but if you get caught you could end up in prison, not worth the risk ............

........... especially when you can watch the fights illegally online ***cough***
