    For those without Sky, the whole evenings show will be available online:

    www.primetimelive.co.uk

    We are working on getting carriage on Virgin, but this regrettably won't happen before the Froch-Dirrell fight night.

    Thanks.

    Can I get primetime on an old sky digibox with a lapsed sky subscription?

    I could get Setanta.

    I'll be watching online then.

    What sort of quality can we expect?

    As long as your card is still 'active', you can buy the PPV. You don't have to be a Sky subscriber.

    And you must attach a phone line so your card can be activated.

    I hope the stream is exceptional for that price, there are 'alternatives' out there that will do 3 months coverage of all sports at a reasonable quality for the same cost...

    I bloody hope so. She might be confusing Saturday with future fights.
    Streaming is not the future. The quality and bitrate just isn't good enough for us who like to watch boxing on big screens. Even when its upscaled, its not good enough.:nono

    Streams will get there eventually, but right now it's only useful on a monitor. Even on a 32" LCD it would look ropey. On my 19" computer monitor though, it'll be just fine.
