Sky Sports 1Newest Review: ... to another Sky Sports channel nearer the end of the season, as football will then take priority. Sky Sports 1 covers European Tour golf and two majors, the US Open and the USPGA as well as the jewel in their golfing crown, the Ryder Cup. I don't watch much of this but my dad tells me the commentators, Bruce Critchley and Ewen Murray are awful. Peter Alliss for him! The USPGA Tour is another casualty to Setanta. They also cover rugby union Guinness Premiership and the Heineken Cup, as well as rugby league competitions the Super League and the Rugby League World Cup, but no-one in our house watches these. I prefer the rugby union World C... more More Sky TV channels

This is the flagship channel of the Sky Sports package and as such hosts Sky's biggest sporting events. In our house the buttons '4' '0' and '1' are virtually worn away on our Sky remote as it is probably the most watched channel after BBC 1, ITV and maybe Channel 4!

Sky Sports 1 is the best channel out of all the sports package you get from Sky,they have everything live on this channel and nothing is shown repeat here.

For the champions league football it was brilliant you can watch 8 games on one channel if you have sky!It really is awesome,you can watch the live cricket as well,they never had difficulties in their broadcasting. The Euro 2008 games also came on Sky and there was no issue at all with their ...

I love SKY SPORTS 1, especially on the weekend when there is live action from the world of sport nearly every hour of the day. As an NTL viewer I cannot gain the advantages of interactive..such as player cam or fanzone but they sound damn good in theory. I also love the commentators on sky sports and find that they are the best around like Andy Gray and Martin Tyler on the football and Eddie and Stevo on rigby league. You really cannot go wrong with this channel, but it does come with a fairly large price tage because it is an additonal extra to you normal package and you have to get certain games of football on pay to ...
