    Hasn't ESPN been free all year for Irish Sky customers?

    Not too sure to be honest. ESPN press release just mentioned this weekend being free for sky customers in uk and Ireland.

    It's free to Sky & UPC customers although I think I saw on DS that it was available on terrestrial freeview in the UK also.

    From ESPN.
    ESPN's Free Weekend, sponsored by Nokia Lumia, begins at 6am on Friday February 3 and will make ESPN and ESPN HD available to all Sky, TopUp TV and BT Vision subscribers in the UK and Ireland. Additionally, the channel will be available for free to the 10 million UK households who have the subscription-free digital TV service Freeview,

    No mention of cable there.seems UPC customers who don't have it are out of luck.

    Fúck sake, it's not free on UPC even though each TV listing starts with ''Free Weekend''.

    Well I'm 100% sure you're wrong.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker

    ESPN is not free on the basic pack.

    Never said it was, I just just said it is available for free without skysports.

    But it's not free without skysports, you have to pay extra to have it.

    UPC seem to have changed there packs lately.. The pack im on now was originally the basic package that was offered.

    How can you say its free on UPC? You pay for every channel you have with UPC.

    Rang them whenever it was announced ESPN was free to existing Sky Sports customers, they said it was only with Sky.

    Oh you're with UPC. That explains that then! I've read the whole thread and dunno why I didn't pick it up that you're with UPC.
