How to Unlock Sky Sports on Your TV

If you want to watch Sky Sports channels on your TV, you need to have a Sky Sports Pass. You can either get a Day, Week or Month Pass. If you have a Virgin Media TV Box, you can get a Virgin Media Sports Pass. With a Now TV Sky Sports Pass, you can watch on your TV, mobile, laptop or tablet.

Check if You Have a HD TV or Set-Top Box

To get started, you’ll need to determine whether your TV is HD or non-HD. If you’re unsure, most packaging for TVs will list the resolution next to the screen size. For example, a 32-inch TV with an HD resolution of 720p would be listed as “32-inch 720p HDTV.”

If you have an HD TV, great! You have a few more options for getting Sky Sports. If you have a non-HD TV, don’t worry--you can still get Sky Sports, but you’ll need to upgrade your equipment first.

Find Out If You Can Get Freeview HD

If you have an HD-ready TV and want to find out if you can get Freeview HD, there are a few things you need to check. First, check that your TV has an HD receiver built in. This is usually indicated by the presence of an HDMI socket on the back of the TV. If your TV doesn’t have an HD receiver, you can still get Freeview HD channels by connecting an HD-ready set top box to your TV.

Once you’ve checked that your TV is able to receive HD signals, use the postcode checker on the Freeview website to see which channels are available in your area. Enter your postcode into the box and select ‘Check Coverage’. A list of available channels will then be displayed, including any local variations.

If you’re still not sure whether you can get Freeview HD where you live, give our customer service team a call on 0800 101010 and they’ll be happy to help.

Check If You Have an Aerial

If you want to watch Sky Sports on your TV, the first thing you need to do is make sure you have an aerial installed. An aerial is required to receive Freeview, and without one, you will not be able to watch Sky Sports. If you’re not sure whether or not you have an aerial, many websites offer checkers that can tell you whether or not your postcode can receive Freeview.

Once you have an aerial installed, tuned into your TV and navigate to the settings menu. From here, you need to find the “Add Channels” option and select it. Once you have done this, a list of available channels should appear on your screen. Find Sky Sports from this list and add it to your channel lineup.

Now that you have added Sky Sports to your lineup, all you need to do is tune into the channel like normal and enjoy! If for some reason you are unable to find Sky Sports in the “Add Channels” menu, it may be because your TV is not connected to the internet. In this case, you will need to connect your TV to the internet before you will be able to add Sky Sports.
