Pretty steep increase to be able to watch live races. Any alternatives?

    It’s £20 in the UK… for no live races. Sky has exclusive rights in the UK sadly. I’ll stick to sailing the high seas.

      NowTV is available and you can (could?) Get credit with them from Tesco clubcard with a decent multiplyer.

      Horrible website/service though

        I don’t like Sky getting a penny from me. I have no idea how they’re allowed to have such a monopoly for sport on TV in the UK.

          They don’t, it’s a partial dualopoly between them and BT Sports with the BBC and ITV occasionally getting in on the action.

          Agree with the sky hate though.

            That’s only recently. They’ve had football for many years before taking boxing into pay per view. It’s snowballed since. I was absolutely gutted when they took F1.
