Sky Sports Racing?

[Dawnrunfan]

I see - in passing in an article in the Racing Post - that our lovely and free At the Races on TV is about to become Sky Sports Racing. As a Virgin subscriber with no interest in any sport other than racing will this mean I actually have to pay more to record my racing (I already pay £22 a month to get Racing UK) than I actually pay for my normal TV subscription?

Do you know anything about this, and is there any chance this is of interest to the Monopolies Commission?

I first raised this back in March on the TV coverage thread #1024, but haven't seen anything further either on here or in general.

I'm just hoping that they offer HD picture soon

@Dawnrunfan - contact your tv provider directly about this

Sky have announced a new, more flexible Sports package and there's no mention of taking ATR into Sports after the rebrand. It's currently in the Variety pack along with Eurosport, Sky Sports Mix and Sky Sports News.

Certainly I was able to set ATR up to record today, so I shall not worry unless Virgin start asking me for more money!
