you cant get the channel on its own anymore on Sly or virgin as they now do it as packages.. i.e kids., entertainment and so on.

check on there site for more info or call them.

Hi Mendi,

I am experiencing the same problem. All i want is Sky Sports News, but it seems that I need to get a very expensive sports package including sky sports 1 & 2 in order to get it. How did you overcome this problem? you emailed sky?
