Is that free to watch when you have Sky? I bought Virgin just to get Motors but with Virgin it only comes in their top package which is quite annoying!

You used to have to pay for it on Sky, I've just changed to Virgin last Saturday and just checked on the old Sky box and it is indeed on there for free.

Ok so can we confirm, does it need a Sky subscription? or can I watch it on a FreeSat from Sky box? or even a FreeSat box? theres a difference between the latter two of course.

I have a Sky box with no subscription since the 25 Feb, I couldn't get Motors on Sunday 26th when I tried but it is on there tonight and it's free. The original poster didn't mention it being on a Freesat (Freeview) box, just that on Sky it's Free to view.

Thats good news cos this post http://www.satandpcguy.com/forum/sho...to-view-on-Sky
sort of implied it was only with a FreesatfromSky card. Mind you Ive got both, but just means I can watch it in the garage on the old Sky box with no card whilst tinkering. Huzzah!

Free to View on Sky means that there has to be an active card ... it's just not part of any packages, Like Channel 5 currently is.
Free to Air is when you can view on a sky box without a card in the box.

I think you can buy the cards from Sky for something like a tenner.

So can you now get motors on a free to air satellite receiver? Or does it have to be a sky dish and box?

It isn't free-to-air, at least not on my Comag SL40 HD receiver. So it seems to me that you need a sky-box at least
