Default Sky Sports Pack

I have the sports pack at ½price for 6 months but noticed I cannot get ESPN
Classic and At The Races and Eurosport channles. Aren't ALL sports channels
(minus ESPN) included? If not what package is At The Races part of?
Thanks

Default Sky Sports Pack

The Sky Sports pack £18 costs per month and provides Sky Sports
channels only (Sky Sports 1, 2, 3 & 4). ESPN, is a premium
stand-alone service, which is available on the Sky platform.
However, the subscription costs an additional £12 per month.

Illogical as it might seem, 'Sky Sports News', 'Eurosport 1 & 2',
'At the Races', 'the Extreme Sports Channel', and 'ESPN Classic'
are not considered to be Sports channels - and are not included
in the Sky Sports Pack. To watch any of these channels, you must
subscribe to the 'News and Events' pack (one of the
'Entertainment' packs).

The first Entertainment pack costs £18 per month - and each
additional Entertainment pack costs £1 (or you can subscribe to
all Entertainment packs for £23 per month). It follows that if
your present subscription includes any of the Entertainment
packs, it will cost you £1 per month to add 'News and Events'.
Otherwise, 'News and Events' will cost £18 per month.

To check the content of the various packs, visit
www.sky.com/quickbuy/build and click on 'Not sure what Pack
contains your favourite channels?' (or visit
http://www.sky.com/quickbuy/help/tvP...pupAnchor_701).

Correction to my previous reply.

The ESPN Premium channel costs £9 per month - if your Sky
subscription includes the Sky Sports 1, Sky Sports 2, or the full
Sky Sports pack. Otherwise, it costs £12 per month on its own.

This is *ONLY* illogical if you consider that Sky Sports Subscribers should
get these channels! I definitely want Eurosport *WITHOUT* being forced to
pay for Sky Sports.
