[william-1]

I have checked on a couple of receivers & shown as encrypted

Seems to be free-to-view, it's works when using an expired white Sky card

Might be for specific events only?

No been here all the time I was watching yesterday check your information.

 

[astra19]

No I mean it's not on the official Freesat EPG, since it's not listed on the Freesat website: Channels List & On-Demand Players | Freesat, unofficial channel lists: Freesat channel list UK | RXTV info or on Freesport's own website: TV schedule | FreeSports

It left the Freesat EPG in July 2020: FreeSports Removed From Freesat In Major Blow To Fans | Cord Busters
If you have a Samsung device you can watch it on Samsung TV Plus which is IPTV.

Just checked with an old Humax Foxsat HD Freesat box and it's not currently on the Freesat EPG.

Perhaps it should change its name, trading standards and all that.

Kabelio has replaced Freesports with Eurosport 1 in HD

Doubt theres anything they can do.

Still FTA (and SD) on terrestrial Freeview, for how long?

 

[astra19]

Freeview is probably fine. They might just be encrypting because Kabelio is redistributing the channel in Switzerland (and therefore across Europe). Apparently the (legal) IPTV providers in Switzerland are still distributing it under some loophole.

Still FTA (and SD) on terrestrial Freeview, for how long?

It's currently on the COM7 mux which is due to disappear by June 30th to make way for 5G

Freeview channel switch-off is coming > RXTV info

In June, over a dozen Freeview channels will move or close, as an entire Freeview multiplex is closed to make way for 5G mobile services.
