Can anyone tell me what the deal is on Virgin? Do I need to subscribe to the entire Sky Sports package?

So they are going to have reporters at the tests and launches. Thats good. But its going to be on Sky Sports News.
A little help here. Is Sky sports news part of the standard sky package ? or part of the sky sports package ?

Standard sky package...

Well it used to be, it got removed from freeview so that may have changed.

 

[ExtremeNinja]

Yes.

Thanks. That's £22.50 per month to watch 9 races...

So £270 per annum...

So £30 per race...

YUK!!

Yuk indeed. And no Freeview either, I understand?

Looks like I'm sticking with Auntie.

Not as bad as paying £145.50 a year to not watch any races

Off topic (sorry) but where did the Auntie nickname come from?
