Phone TV question

[Elvis]

I've subscribed to Sky Sports via my mobile for £5 a month, which I think is pretty reasonable.  My question is however I do not subscribe to unlimited internet usage on my phone as I don't use it.  Is watching TV via your phone deemed to be using the internet though?  Or is it just a flat rate £5 for tv or £7 for internet, or can you not have the tv without the internet?

you need internet aswell. all a big con if you ask me.

with orange i got free highlights of all swindons games etc but i had to pay for the internet usage

I've rung up and been assured that although you do pay "about a penny" to get on to the screen to select what channel you want, as that's hosted on Vodafone live, once you're viewing the channel your £5 per month kicks in and there is no further (download) charge.

I'll keep an eye on it.

What's the quality like Elvis and were you Jan aage before?

I just got given a slingbox by work to play with and it hooks into my ADSL line at home and the Sky box and I can watch Sky off my home subs on my mobile albeit paying for the data on HSDPA/3G.  Not bad though on Wi-Fi though and I have the power to freak out people and change what ever someone is watching on the box back home.

Yeah I was Jan before, as I said before couldn't get my old log on to work so signed up as Elvis.

Quality's alright, not brilliant, but better than i expected, I happily watched the cricket yesterday, should be good for the footie when the season starts!!
