COLD because this not free. Because you have to subscribe to other services to get this so called 'free' service.
The legal term is "Available at no extra cost"

It is free, you don't need a current Sky subscription (that you pay for) to watch, you just need a Sky box..
You could have one from a previous subscription that's lapsed.. not the op's fault if people that don't have access to a Sky box get frustrated!!

Some advance info here - 'some' premier league....though notice they've got the live Real Madrid game over the weekend, so anything's better than nothing:
Not on now tv either so technically not free for all sky customers.

About bloody time...been waiting for this but mews has been very low key.
I've a Sky subscription but the extortionate fee for the sports put me off them...think (?) they're obliged to show some Prem games, but no doubt they'll not exactly be the high profile selection...

How have I only just seen this! Been watching SSN for cricket updates!
Is this a permanent channel and what kind of football matches can we expect?

Spanish football and championship. No mention of premier league - think that would annoy those who pay for sports for the PL primarily.
