Sky Sports 5 (Activation)

[Sylvie]

Sky Sports 5 launches in August. In the meantime Sky has an onscreen red button prompt marked "Activate SS5", whenever you tune into a Sky Sports channel.

I followed their exhortation to do just this last week and, after following the onscreen instructions, was advised that Sky Sports 5 had been successfully activated.

However, every time I tune into a Sky Sports channel the activation prompt still appears giving me the impression that activation wasn't properly activated, despite the fact that when I access my personal details On Sky (MySky>My Package) it does include mention of Sky Sports 5 being part of my particular bundle with a tick next to Sky Sports 5.

Has anyone else experienced this.

I saw this activation but ignored it (so far).

I got the impression it was their way of getting you to read about their "free Sky Broadband for 2 years offer".

When SS5 launches, and if I cant get it, I will worry about it then.

I tried to 'activate' SS5 earlier - it went through a couple of screens and seemed to get stuck on looking up my details - eventually it came back telling me that 'Unfortunately we can't complete your order right now. To place your order please go to www.sky.com'

I'll think about that when I've got a couple hours to spare!

Is it free or is it charged to your account when you activate it!
