BT Sport on Sky

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but is it still possible to get BT Sport for free if the BT Infinity package is in my name but the Sky viewing card/subscription is in my partners name at the same address?
Any help with this would be appreciated.

A very interesting question. I would say yes. From discussion I have had with BT reps, in order to sign-up for BT Sport, they only need a viewing card number, no details about subscriptions are required.

Cant get BT Sport on Sky?

Can I get a BT Sport on Sky Platform without being a sky subscription customer?
I have sky as freesat platform and had old viewing card and get all the free channels fine, I regestered the card online but on day the BT Sport the card was not activated.
I spoke to BT customer support as was also having problem getting online viewing working too (a problem with verifiying my account after having it merged so I could use BT Sport online), this has now been resolved and BT Sport online is working fine (starting working fine yesterday), after this conversation I got a new viewing card through post apparently from SKY although not sure how or why, this card is now registerd with BT Sport as viewing card to use apparently. Did BT Sport instigate this as SKY denies sending one out?
However I am getting message that it is incorrect card for box message on have to subscibe channels and the BT sport ones, yesterday I tried the pair box with card as suggested by BT Sport help sections online, entered the info and still no inprovement. Do I need to wait bit logner for this to work?
In between times I also contacted sky about the card, and they seem know nothing the new card and it's not registered on their system.
I tried reregistered old viewing card on BT Sport but it says card not currently active and check if i have newer one.
I'm not sure what i can do next, should I wait bit longer for the paring to complete or do I need to do something else?

That's what they said
It came after had accounts merged, I had originally registered my old viewing card and this was mentioned in the email when started new year contract with newly merged account.
However since then the new card has been registered with BT, im not sure how this happened don't remember mentioning this new card number to anyone at BT, however may of tried registering new card online at some point, hard to remember now after all that has happened since does get confusing as was having problem of verifying me as account holder on newly formed merged account. So trying lots of things to get things working.
Thing is I can't reregister the old card with BT online now, it says its not active.
I'm not sure whether I should persue trying to get the old card reregistered or try getting this new card working, as not been SKY subscriber for over 6/7 years, never had a new card even when they said may lose channels a few years back, the old card is very old a blue one. New one is white.
For all I know neither card may not be active one (as far as sky are concerned), as you can watch freeview sky without card if you dont do any updates. I assume the card reloads channels available on it should a reset or crash occur and need to update box? Not that I'm and expert on these things
Just another thing, would I need box connected to phone line for new channels to be added? I know it allows you to use interactive services and is required if you have subscription with multi-room, but not sure if needed for anything else, I could temporarily connect one if needed, but phone port is on opposite side of room to tv, so having permenant connection would be tricky, reason why one is not connected atm.

No Multi-Room for BT Sport on Sky?

I was wondering why BT Sports have no Multi-Room avaliable? I find it a constant disappointment because Someone may be watching something else on the one TV and I can't watch it on my other Sky box. Can you please create a Multi-Room where I can watch BT Sport on my two Sky Boxes? Many Thanks.

Does BT Sport On Sky Auto Cancel?

I've been a subscriber through SKY since BT Sport started but have now changed to BT for my Fibre too. I remember when first signing up BT Sport was mentioned and i said something along the lines that i already had it through SKY (i relly can't remember the exact way it was worded).
Now obviously as i should now receive it for free through the app/PC i don't need it on SKY anymore and can save myself £16.50 a month, so will it automatically finish on SKY or is there something i need to do to cancel it? Thanks.

I would be proactive and cancel to make sure. Try. 0800 432 0025

Can anyone advise?

BT Sport with Sky Multiroom

So the nice man I just phoned at BT tells me that BT Sport isn't available on sky multiroom. I thought he was kidding. I've got BT Broadband, (Unfortunately - Most reliable Internet connetion my left bum cheek) so the service should be free anyway. Alas, I even offered to pay for the additional box to be registered but apparently it can't be done. So can someone explain what the technical reason for this is? It's hardly an uncommon set up for a household to have more than one sky box, so surely this problem was not an oversight? I half expected it to be a money spinner for BT but for once I couldn't even pay you for your poor service.
In any case, you've given me the choice of watching the Liverpool game over your dreadful internet connection or the pain of watching Celtic with my dad in the living room. Saturday ruined.

It's BT's choice not to offer Multiroom, not Sky. Sky do after all
If BT's excuse is that it's too expensive, they should levy a charge so they break even - simples.
It's not BT's choice. A commercial agreement is needed and one cannot be reached at a price that makes economic sense.
BTW "simples" just makes you sound like an idiot. Have you ever thought of trying to act and speak like an adult?
Of course one could be reached if BT had the will to do it. It would obviously cheaper than a full 2nd package which BT have also failed to offer.
BTW an ad hominem attack is the last resort of a lost argument
In this case it's just a matter of finding people who quote a puppet from a TV advert in the mistaken belief that it makes them sound clever or pithy, ever so slightly immature and shallow. You're one of about a million posters who do it across the web, there's nothing profound, wise, sassy, original, or witty about it.
A deal has not been reached because the negotiations have failed to produce a price BT are happy with.
That might change, but it also might not and people may find that this is one of those instances in life where stomping feet, posting stroppiness on forums and threatening to go elsewhere won't produce the result they want.
As for a second subscription, without the access to Sky's multiroom authentication system there's no way BT could be sure the second cards were being used in the addresses they're registered to. There's zip reason for them to take the chance.

BT sport on sky platform

Moving into a new property and Looking to buy BT broadband to include BT sport and have it on the sky platform but i have not yet had either installed, do i need to have the sky installed before the broadband so i can add BT sport straight away or can i get the broadband installed first and add BT sport to the sky platform at a later date once that is also installed?
thanks in advance for your help

If you are going to watch it on the SKY Platform you will need to have SKY Installed before you can order it because you will need the SKY viewing card number.

BT Sport through Sky Box question?

I am thinking of getting BT broadband so I get the free BT Sport HD through my Sky box.
My question is do I need a Sky subscription for it to work?
I am now out of subscription but my sky box still works and I have my viewing card number still..
Thanks

I can answer that in this miasma of confusion. You don't need a Sky sub. You won't be able to record of course.

Trying to activate BT sport on Sky

Hi
I'm guessing a lot of people in the same boat. Have joined BT and account is activated. I have bt sport on iPad but BB connection speed is only 2.4MB/S so basically unwatchable. Have tried to order BT sport via my sky viewing card, waited 24 hours and no joy. Tried to reorder only to find that I can watch online ( which I knew already) but need to call them. Service is pretty poor and guessing ill have a few hours on the phone! Any ideas on how to fast track this system?

Hi Dedonmel,
If you send me in your details using the link forun in the "About Me" section of my profile, I should be ale to get the BT Sport package added.
Thanks

Question about integrating BT Sport in Sky Sports

Hi, I've recently moved house and am looking to get BT broadband/BT sport + Sky Sports. But since I'll have to register and have BT broadband installed first (for the phone line) before I have my Sky Sports set up will I have to add another 12 months to my 18 month BT contract to have BT Sport added to my Sky TV?
Thanks
Solved!

No, the condition for free sports is that you have at least 12 months remaining on your BT Broadband contract, which you will have.

BT sport through sky

I've just changed to BT BB and phone line and am trying to order the free BT sport to activate. I'm following the links on MY BT to activate but it takes me through the sequence and then says sorry technical error? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or how best to solve it?

It's very expensive! However it works and best of all menu contrast is superb for my failing eyesight I could no longer use BT Vision area due to a very poor implementation for those who are partially sighted. BTTV is very poor for those with visual or audio problems.

Please could someone tell me where I can get info on how to use my controls when watching live sports on sky go on my IPad mini !!!

Could someone please tell me where I can info on how to use the controls I.e live pause,forward,rewind etc when watching live shows on my ipad mini please.

well, i can't really tell if i am only allowed one connection with this isp. basically, whenever i plug in the ethernet cord, all of the information gets filled in in the ethernet section of the network, except for the router info. there is router info filled in on my sister's computer whenever i plug the cord into her computer, though. does that mean i can't also use the modem for my computer? sorry, this is both my first time using a mac and my first time using anything other than dial-up, so i'm pretty lost. thanks for the info you've given me thus far.

BT Sport & Sky HD - trying to sign up

Hi
We are having differculty signing to get a BT Sports package up - we've already sent a email to BT care - but its asking for the same thing again and again - My sister is a sport fanatic.
We have a SKY HD box and BT Broadband and a BT phone. The BT phone is on my dads bill and the Broadband on mine - so we have 2 different accounts.
The problem is - I'll do a copy and paste from the email.
We've been trying to get BT Sports on the sky HD box, everything went okay until we started to order it. As it then said the phone number is not the same as the account number , they don't match up, but they've been the same for years. As if you've got an account with the BB it's free to get the Sport on sky. And now we are wondering if the telephone account has to be used as both account have different AC numbers laid on two separate bills. And if so will we get charged to use the sports channel via the phone AC number???? I've got the BB AC my dad phone AC.
THEN we got this message
Hi,
Thanks for your email, I tried calling you to speak about this, sorry I missed you.
I have checked your account and indeed you have Broadband with BT, however it appears you don't have a telephone line with BT. That's fine as you only need Broadband with us in order to get the BT Sport included.
If I do it one way it wants to charge, if I do it the other way it says the account provided does not match your telephone number.
But on my usage monitor it says our number is the same as we are trying to connect it with.
Its laughable when it states BT Sport is free to all BT broadband customers.
And yet its trying to charge us.
I've just noticed that there is another phone number on my online bill - which isn't ours - so has the BB hub got a different number - I give up!!!!!!!!!!

Just a quick thought, but have you actually tried calling the order line instead of going online? Online ordering works okay with normal account situations, but the arraingement you have sounds *far* from normal! If you give the order number a call, talk them through the situation, they may be able to help.

BT Sports Not Working on Sky

Called up Sunday to add BT Sports, started a new 12 month infinity contract, gave over Sky viewing card.
Wednesday evening and sky box still says "Call to get BT Sport".....
Anything I can do?

Best to phone up again..
try the sales team on 0800 756 7566
i took a new calls/broadband deal for the free BT Sports on sky and was activated in under 2 minutes .

Sky and bt broadband doesn't equal bt sport.

After seeing numerous by sport adverts but not taking a huge amount of notice finally the penny dropped that I potentially could get bt sport although I am a sky sports customer but a bt broadband customer.
I have been a bt customer for a fair amount f time and I feel mislead by the adverts advertising free bt vision if you have bb.
Failing to mention you must bind into another 12 month contract. When it's simply advertised free to bt broadband customers.
Am I missing something or is this seriously misleading.
I for one won't be renewing my bt contract come next year nor extend it for a further 12 months of poor internet quality and constant drop out.

Virtually all free products advertised by anyone have terms and conditions that apply.
