    Only took a few hours for me.

    No, I haven't had any problems with them.

    There is a £5 switch on charge but this is made up for by the first 2 months being half-price with the code P921. Regardless of this it is still very good value for money, IMO.

    promo codes are finished now but I am sure you can 'question' the connection charge.

    How does multiple boxes work? Do I have to pay extra?

    Can I clock Premier Sports boxing as a favourite so I am reminded of any fight coming up?

    It can get tough to track the boxing calender.

    They agreed it but then some people that matter in ESPN were alerted and freaked out that one part of their company was selling stuff to a 'competitor' without them knowing. They then all of a sudden said it was a big mistake and they always intended showing it. They showed delayed coverage for a while but think they do it live now. They deserve credit for making us look daft and for their superb contribution to boxing in 2011I do not represent the views of the company on this.

    Quality stuff Tricky. I think I'm going to sign up as long as I can 'question' the turn on charge.

    I am sure you can 'question' that charge. Just get mad but not too mad. It is Friday after all!

    Tricky - is there anyway of subscribing in Ireland via Sky without having to subscribe to Setanta ? I know Setanta Ireland cover some of the live events but they charge 16.99 a month which on top of Sky subscription is too much in my opinion.

    Can you Sky Plus Premier Sports events and watch them later? And if so, is there a time limit before it's automatically deleted?

    This looks top, as long as you can Sky Plus it I'm in!
