Don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but the BT sport channel is available free this weekend on Sky, Virgin and Freeview (Ch 57). Palace v Arsenal ko 12.45 for those of you not going to the 'bok.

I would point out that BT sport has had some of the worst t.v figures ever so have been forced to put it on free, something like only 1% of their customers actually watch any of the programs other than the actual matches.

BT Sport confused the fck out of it's launch. Supposedly free to BT Internet people and no end of weird variations. In fact unless you add a monthly fee it's only 'sort-of' free. I can, supposedly get it on the lappy (can't) or phone or tablet (can, but far from simple).

They will HAVE to simplify access or it may as well not be there.

Yeah. Sorry about that. I tried. :(

Owen sounded so fecking dour. Quelle surprise! What the feck made them think that it was a good idea to have him as a pundit?

I've got it but the only time I turned it on was check it'd been activated.

Looks like they're going to make the same mistakes as Setanta, ESPN etc

Employing Owen & Rio Ferdinand as pundits really doesn't help their cause
