Maybe it could replace the Discovery channel from Wednesday onwards. 😛
More and more exclusive live events are on Sky Sports Mix but Brentford v Villa is on Sky Sports 1 as well.

I don't like that idea either. Adding any kind of sports channel to the entertainment pass sounds like the perfect way of making it more expensive. People may get sky sports mix on sky TVs, lower packages, but remember prices for sky TVs start at £20 a month, whereas an entertainment pass is £6.99 a month. Sports channels are typically expensive. So if sky sports mix were added, it would likely cause a price rise.
I've said this on this forum before but I will say it again. People need to be careful what they wish for.

Well said @commanda6
Besides... The 'Sports' service should offers sports content, not the 'Entertainment' service...

I've said before, with SS Mix showing some exclusive content, it should at least be included with the Sports package on NOW TV.

Maybe, but to get Eurosport and Sky Sports Mix with Virgin and Sky you have to get the entertainment channels. BT Sport is also part of the Virgin Sky Sports Mix is supposed to be a taster channel, though it seems to have taken on a life of its own.

This is precisely why I prefer NOW TV's 'split' service, as it's very easy to understand and find the content you're paying for...

It is easy on Virgin too. You can search by type eg movies or sport. Most sports channels cost extra on the entertainment pass. You can also set up your own favourites list. To be honest I think Virgin is best for sports content if you watch a lot. Now is better for dipping in. Where Now wins over Virgin in my opinion is on Movies and ease of catch-up/ box sets.

Virgin is best for giving easy access to all the sport (Eurosport, Premier Sports, BT Sport, Sky Sports (including mix)), but it does cost a lot to get it all unless you are on an offer. BT Sport is probably the hardest to get hold of along with Sky Sports Mix. Fortunately there isn't much I want to watch on either, but I hang onto the TiVo for when there is.
I agree that accessing movies and on demand is far easier on Now TV and also better value.
