Wolford6 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I've been bingeing on Skyplus downloads of Salvage Hunters from Quest. It must have been shown for years but I had not seen any till the lockdown. Really good for the antiques restoration series; I'm not much interested in the car-restoring series. The presenter is a dealer called Drew Pritchard. I've spent years dealing with members of the public, site workers, colleagues and clients and got the impression that, offscreen, he may not be as pleasant as on it. Checked the internet; my initial impession seems reasonable. Mind you, I'm still downloading and watching the show.

Bleep1673 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Given the death of live sports, I am surprised about the fact Premier/Freesports haven't shown any of the back catalogue of Championship Games. Is this because Sky now own the rights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they'd probably be pushing sports that they want viewers to come back to once the crisis abates and live broadcasts resume. It'd be nice if they showed a few RL matches, though. Have you tried emailing them or contacting them on social media? Maybe it just hasn't crossed their minds.

Gerrumonside ref Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 BT Sport have got better sports documentaries than Sky I’ve noticed during this lockdown. They are helped by having the rights to ESPN output. My top 5: 1. Greavsie 2. The inventors of Fantasy Baseball story 3. The one about USC college football team 4. The 50 year curse of Cleveland sports fans 5. Team of the Eighties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep1673 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 All sports channels should cancel subscription until lockdown finishes, and be 'free-to-air', right across the board. SKY, BT, Eurosport everything, it's not like they are paying for anything right now, but it will help the UK's mental health. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky have been showing plenty of old rugby league games on their Sky Sports Mix channel that's available to all subscribers. I watched St Helens v Wigan 2003 yesterday and there's a few on their website you can watch on demand on that channel.
