Sky sports question

I used to subscribe to Setanta and obviously the lack of boxing on UK TV is very annoying. I know SKY show FNF and the odd big card on non-ppv. What I was wondering is if this is on SS1 mainly or if some cards are on SS2?
I could just about convince my wife that now we don't pay for Setanta we could upgrade to SS1 but I don't think we could afford the whole sports pack and me to still be able to go to the football on a Saturday!
Cheers

Seriously, sometimes they show the Saturday morning repeat of FNF on SS2 though - quite often from memory. But if you want the live stuff it's usually SS1.

I'd go with SS1 - Its very rare that FFN's wont be on SS1 and then even if they arent they'll be repeated sometime on the night/morning on that channel

Great thanks. I'll bin her and get the lot then

Actually with the amount of programs showing nothing but cooking programs that I wouldn't need then I could afford it no problem!
SS1 it is

If you get skysports 1 I'm sure you can sign up to skysports online and watch all of the skysports channels, thats what I do :)
Or you could get a skybet account bet a couple of quid a month and then that gets you free online skysports and you've got a chance to win some money :P

Phoned Sky and asked to be upgraded to SS1 and the guy talked me into taking the full sports pack on a half-price offer for three months then I can downgrade after that. £8.50 a month for three months sounds good - Mayweather-marquez, prizefighters, brook-jennings, rhodes-moore. Sounds ok for the next month or so!
Cheers for the help.
