mike1944 151 Posted August 17, 2017 Interesting story about the new FreeSports channel coming to all platforms -- http://www.a516digital.com/2017/08/freesport-confirms-freesat-details.html The channel, being launched by the people behind Premier Sports and the former Setanta UK service, has confirmed it will appear to viewers on Freesat channel 252, in addition to the previously announced slots on Sky 424 and Freeview / YouView (BT/TalkTalk) channel 95. The channel expects to reach 22 million homes from September.Further information on sports types to be screened on the channel have also been provided: FreeSports will feature Football, Rugby League, Tennis, Ice Hockey, MMA, Basketball, Cricket, Speedway, Nascar, Athletics and Wrestling, essentially beccoming a free-to-air version of Premier Sports, which already provides coverage of these sports on a pay TV basis. I wonder if it might possibly feature Swedish or even Polish TV as it is the same people behind Premier Sports 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) I wish they would not keep changing the channels as the bl##dy system I have got is a pain to retune and get rid of all the crap channels so they do not have to be bypassed when looking through the prog list searching to see what is on. Have retuned and got it on channel 95 on one tv and 273 on another but it just states starting in Sept. BT sports preview has disappeared from freeview,and this seems to have taken over the channel, is this part of BT?. Edited August 28, 2017 by A ORLOV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uk_martin 1,606 Posted August 28, 2017 I wonder if it might possibly feature Swedish or even Polish TV as it is the same people behind Premier Sports If it's a "free" service then my expectation will be that it will be to Premier Sports what Dave / Yesterday / Gold (etc) are to BBC / ITV - a reruns and "look what you could have seen" channel. I'm sure that the hope amongst speedway fans is to get something for nothing (as usual) but that's not how I see how the TV stations work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do not care if the Speedway is a day or two behind the actual meetings, Channel 4 used to show the Speedway GPs a week after they were run and that was OK We will soon find out if Swedish Speedway is live or not. Am looking forward to what they are showing apart from football, they can stuff that. TV prog guide menu only goes up to thurs and at the moment shows nothing, so will keep checking it and report when they are showing speedway, unless another poster beats me to it from some other source.

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) As I posted earlier my EPG is already showing Speedway on at 7:30am on Thursday. Also Saturday at 6:00am. What is EPG, as there are still no listings on freeview for speedway. Also if they are starting in Sept most speedway will have ended by then so did they state they would be showing and when?.
