57 channels and nothing on....

Sky have just announced that they're going to add sky sports 5 to their sports package from the start of next season. It's only going to show European football, including the champions league games. It's free to existing subscribers and they can also get two years free sky broadband. That looks like a good deal.

But Sky only have the rights to show the champions league for next season. After that they switch to BT sports. At present to get BTSport free you need to be a BT broadband subscriber. So this time next season you might want to switch broadband to BT from Sky so that you can watch the champions league for free that way, or at least with the discount as a BT broadband user.

But those clever chaps the Sky have tied you in for two years. So now you'll probably have to pay full price  for BTSport to watch the champions league. So you might not bother. Well that's what Sky are hoping anyway.
