Sky Sports 5 Activation

What is this all about? They say this new channel is at no extra cost but I have never had to 'activate' a new channel before. Worried I am going to commit to something if I activate it. Can't find a definitive answer on Google. Don't we have someone on here who works for Sky?

    You're not committing to anything. You're fine to activate it.

    This. I activated mine a couple of weeks ago. No extra cost & no min period etc. Just another channel.

    You don't need to activate it do you? Mine just works. I thought it was just an attempt to sign you up to broadband

    Got a couple of messages telling me to activate it. Forgot and when I got round to it found it was working anyway.

    First direct factual question El Presidente Salmondo has been asked (about Faslane) and he's spouting a load of guff. No substance.

    Are you sure you activated the right thread?

    Yeah. Sorry. Thought I was posting on the independence thread. Not concentrating properly as I'm listening to the two stooges debating whilst typing on my iPhone. D'0h!!!

    I was under the impression that after the first week or so you stop getting it if you have not 'activated' it.

    I think that's right. I wan to know how to activate it without signing up to swap my landline to sky. I've already got sky broadband. Very naughty of them.

    If you watch it they keep saying if you want to carry on watching remember to activate it, so I think if you dont activate it you lose it

    By activating it you're agreeing to use Sky Broadband for 2 years free of charge.

    If you're watching it but never activated it, then you need to talk to your missus about who she's had over whilst your out!

    Thought it was yellow button to also get broadband and blue button to just activate the sports channel?

    Just did it via the on-line chat thing. No contract extension, no broadband.

    I see the monthly subscription has gone up again. I've got the Variety and Sports package which will be £59.50 from next month up from £56 :-(

    Its just a marketing ploy to try and get more broadband customers by putting the activation tool on the broadband sales site with the offer. If you look carefully there is a second option to activate that doesn't take you to the broadband sales site. You don't have to have anything to do with their broadband.

    No. Makes no difference which Sky Sports channel it's on does it ?
