Sky Sports Packages
Sky Sports is the number one TV sports package in the UK and is available from Sky directly or from rival TV suppliers such as Virgin Media, Bt Vision and Top Up TV. On this page we look at the deals from Sky Digital.
Sky Digital is the only service to offer the full Sky Sports package of Sky Sports 1, 2, 3 and 4 and Sky Sports News both in standard and high definition (Virgin Media comes close but lacks 3 and 4 in HD). Over 100 sports are covered, much of the live action is exclusive and you get 24 hour coverage on Sky Sports News, not to mention an increasing choice of sporting events broadcast in 3D.
