Think it's more to do with the satellite than owt else Less. Every so often I do a scan over here of the freeview channels on the Astra Sat & pay channels are amongst those selected, daft I know but hey ho !
I think wur a bit muxed here, Freeview round here is from Winter Hill via relay masts. Freesat is via a dish pointing at the same direction as the Sky satelite. I get both Sky and Freesat via a quad head. I very seldom watch Sky, but do record quite a few programs on Freesat.Think it's more to do with the satellite than owt else Less.

Can't comment on the sports channels, don't watch any of it, and tholympics will not be on unless they stick abit on the 6 oclck news, be glad when that rubbish is over.
Why is it called The Olympic Games, how many of those events are actually games.
Think you may be right Retlaw
It's just that we tend to use the Sat over here to pick up UK channels, never gave a thought that Less may've meant normal terrestrial TV from a mast,whoops, apologies. 
Sky Sports 1 and 2 are available as part of the top up tv pay service that runs on Freeview.

sky is offering this weekend .. well it was from friday at 6am to midnight on sunday .. free sky sports ... trying to get people to buy it for the footie starting in august ...
They are also trying to promote the sky sports F1 channel as i can get it over this weekend to watch the German grand prix
I've had Sky for twenty years and think that F1 channel is the only channel I haven't logged onto, F1 just ain't my cup of tea
Would you adam and eve it? I just reset my freeview system which is on my Laptop, this was to tune in that new Channel 4, channel called 4Seven!
Low and behold what have I got new as well - 3 Porn Channels - which were not on the system before - so they've now put these 3 new sex channels on freeview! Bloody disgraceful you can't take them off! Who says I want this cheap titilation?
