Can anyone with a freeview package get this? I'm a bit confused as to what Top Up TV is. I know our package at our house at Uni is virgin media which seems to be mentioned in the article.

There are one or two channels in freeview that are caller Top Up TV. You go there and subscribe to channels that are available to freeview but you have to pay. Others - for me - are ESPN, GOLD, CNN.

The £7 is what you would pay to BT on top of your contract.

Its gonna be £31 quid for both channels on Freeview.

Ok, if you are already a BT vision customer, then how much is the basic pack to which you can then add this sports pack for £7/month?

Can't remember to be honest, and the bills confuse the shit out of me.

Think I got Broadband, TV and Phone for about £35 a month.

Seems to be £15 for the basic package (if you're already a BT Internet customer), then an additional £7 is for Sky Sports 1. Another £5 gets you Sky Sports 2 as well. Or something like that.

That would be my genuine worry and why I'll hold fire to see what's what before signing up to anything.
