Looks like the game on Monday will be free on Freeview channel 57

**Simon70** · 05-10-2013 01:57 PM

BT Sport is being offered free on Freeview channel 57 from 7pm on Monday as part of a BT promotional drive. The article below doesn't mention the Thistle v Hibs match specifically, but it stands to reason that it will be one of the matches shown.

They are so much better than SKY...loving the HD channel versions...Man City Everton lunchtime..... Bayer v Bayern at tea time....looking forward to that

Well here's a prime example of tv killing the football fan.

I had spoke myself into going to the game. Now I know I can get it for free in the house, I won't be going.

Although maybe that's says more about me than anything else...

If it was Friday/Saturday/Sunday I would be there

It is on telly, it's on a Monday, it's unfortunately an easy decision for me

Please say yes

In an effort to pull in more subscribers BT’s consumer division has today announced that its new BTSport TV service, which is usually offered for free alongside their various home broadband and phone packages, will become available to EVERYONE with Freeview, BT TV, Sky TV (Sky Broadband) or Virgin Media TV for several weeks this month.

In short, viewers will be able to watch BTSport’s magazine and live sport programming on Freeview channel 57(note: only ‘BTSport 1′) from the weeks commencingOctober 7th and 14th (Monday – Friday from 7pm each evening). Similarly customers on Sky TV andVirgin Media will get access between October 25th to 28th (Friday 6pm – Monday 6am).

don't think so ?

I would think so. Most modern tellies have built in freeview now anyway, it may just mean retuning your telly. I'd imagine they'll be pitching the service at sky customers though so probably will be available on a sky channel. Hopefully someone can provide a more definitive answer though.

Seems to be weekdays at first then the last weekend of October.

**Houchy** · 05-10-2013 04:55 PM

414 is the BT channel that's advertising the game but doesn't mention the free weekend promo.

**carnoustiehibee** · 05-10-2013 05:20 PM

Btsport has been a lot better than sky. David James and Hargreaves are good analysts for man city game, now Leverkusen v Munich and Inter v Roma.

**~~Hibercelona~~** · 05-10-2013 05:23 PM

Lovely Jubbly!

Can't make it to the game for various reasons, so i'll be helping myself to some of that.

**Sir David Gray** · 05-10-2013 05:32 PM

Won't make much odds to me. I'll be working up until the last 30 minutes of the game and then I'll spend 20 minutes of that 30 minutes driving home.

Might catch the last 5 minutes.

Most TVs have freeview but how many folk still have aerials where their TV is? With having cable and satellite I can't recall the last time I had a TV point working!

***Heisenberg*** · 05-10-2013 05:33 PM

Can't make the game and didnt fancy any coverage offered on the radio by the BBC so this is ideal, cheers for the heads up!

I can manage. I've already said I was going, Monday is a massive inconvenience though as I work till 5pm in the middle of town.

I don't work the weekend and finish early on a Friday so that suits me more.

I won't be going now on Monday. I could manage it but the fact I can get it on tv in my house for nout means I won't.

If it was fri/sat/sun I would go regardless if its on tv or not. As I said Monday night football is another example of the football fan being killed off for tv purposes.

Or is it an example of me not being an uber fan like your good self?

Analog TV doesn't exist anymore. You need to have at least freeview to view any channels now.

I know but you need to plug a box to a working aerial don't you?

Yes you do. Which is why some people still have aerials next to their TVs.

some people do have difficulties in travelling to Glasgow for 1945 on a Monday evening...

Thank you Freeview :-)

**Wheat Hound** · 05-10-2013 11:05 PM

So, for those with Sky, do we get this game and what channel number?

It's on BT Sport 1 so I'm guessing that all BT will do is decrypt their channel for the one night so that it's available for everyone to view.

If so, BT Sport 1 HD is channel 413 on Sky and the SD channel is 426.

***wookie70*** · 06-10-2013 12:12 AM

Looks like most will be able to watch on TV http://www.uswitch.com/broadband/new...media_viewers/

**Aaron** · 06-10-2013 11:53 AM

So to clarify; are we able to see the Thistle game without a BT Sports subscription? Not sure if they are just showing certain things /channels.

If your telly is less than about 7 years old it will have a built in Freeview (Digital Terrestrial) tuner. Just select the appropriate input and auto-tune if you haven't already done so.

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 06-10-2013 01:33 PM
