Petit Prince Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 We used to get Sky Sports News on freeview but now that we have Sky we're not getting it anymore. We actually have the sports package but still no Sky Sports News. Surely there must be something wrong?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_squared Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 There's definitely something wrong. Maybe your dish is incorrectly aligned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petit Prince Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Everything else works though. I actually spoke to the sky people and they tried to talk me into getting an extra package but I don't wanna pay extra for something I'm supposed to get for free. Anyone else got the same problem?

mc_squared Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 You normally can't have Sports on its own. It has to be Sports plus basic (including SSN). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petit Prince Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 I think we've got that because we get Sky Sports 1, 2 and extra. We also have the entertainment and documentary packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGirl76 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 This isn't meant to be a dumb question but it will probably sound it - are you sure you're looking at the right channel?Ā It's 405 on my telly - is it that you get a blank screen.. or does 405 not exist?

busybeeburns Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 definately something wrong - I have the full sports package and can also get SSN. In fact I used to be able to get it also with a basic freeview box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I can get it on my bedroom TV which has Freeview.Ā And you say you can get the other Sky Sports channels, which is odd, because I think you can't get SSN on sky without having their sports package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGirl76 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I'm sure my Dad haf SSN without having the Sports Package (my Mum won't let him have it :laugh3:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely don't it, I've checked all the sports channel.Ā definately something wrong - I have the full sports package and can also get SSN. In fact I used to be able to get it also with a basic freeview boxĀ I used to get it on freeview but for some weird reason it doesn't work on sky. I think I need to give them another ring.Ā I can get it on my bedroom TV which has Freeview.Ā And you say you can get the other Sky Sports channels, which is odd, because I think you can't get SSN on sky without having their sports packageĀ True. They need to sort that out then. Weird thing is they said it was part of the news package and not the sports one and told me to get that one as well. Just doesn't make sense to me.

RedGirl76 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 News package?Ā I've never heard of that. I can't believe they get many subscribers to that one. I mean, I watch the news, but I wouldn't pay for Sky's version.Ā Did you try looking at the website - maybe there's a list of what you are and aren't entitled to. Though the idea that paying for the sports package doesn't get you sports news is just crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petit Prince Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 I checked it, it really seemms to be part of the news packge. I guess its the only reason why someone would get this package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the third time I ring them about SSN my housemate rang them twice for the same reason.:lol:Ā Isn't that like Ā£50? We might be better off paying for that news package then.
