    It has always been in the News & EVents Mix, AFAIK.

    I'd assume you don't have that mix on your subscription.

    Yeah, it's stil FTA on Astra 1, but in German (dunno if the analogue version still exists, as it was in English too). Don't think Eurosport 2 is FTA anywhere.

    For some, they might prefer to pay an extra 2eur for Eurosport instead of the bigger fee attached to Sky Sports.

    I don't know about others but I don't mind paying €2 per month to see Eurosport 1 and 2. With that we also get ESPN Classic and Motors TV. Much better value when compared to whatever it is Sky Sports costs. Not everyone who likes sports has Sky Sports you know.

    Hardly a "con"..
    More like clever marketing on Sky's behalf.
