Why is it funny? She said she didn't have cable tv access? Maybe she could get an antenna and watch it on CBC.

Sky has never been in on the world cup. It's one of those "listed events" that are free to air. :thumbsup:

Obviously not Captain obvious to the non footy fans who left the UK when Sky had the broadcasting rights.

Friends are visiting during WC so thought if better be the decent hosts and at least know where to find it.


Looks like Bbc and itv are alternating .
