Seems to be yet another rip off channel for all Freeview viewers as its no longer on Freeview, presumably because Rupie doesnt like to think of 'free' viewers seeing his precious HD channels for free!
(Sorry about all the repeats of the word 'free'!! lol!!)

[keith mawer]

i have to admit i was a wee bit surprised its not on free view.... obviously a marketing tactic!!!
that was the bad news,,,
the good news!!!!! << having viewed the sly sports news hd this morning,i ,I admit is brilliant!!!
