Sky Sports 5 – Activation.

So, after talking to various people / clients, it now looks like you did not have to “activate” to get the new Sky Sports 5 channel after all.

Only if you wanted the 2 years free Sky broadband offer.

Which was what Sky’s advertising was all about.

According to many people I have spoken to, Sky Sports 5 was added automatically to their Sky Sports subscription.

Even though they did not activate it or contact Sky to add it to their account.

Nice bit of PR / advertising by Sky to try and increase their broadband numbers….
