No, BT sport comes with a You View box via broadband. It's half the size of the sky box and can be wirelessly connected around your house with plug in boosters If your router is too far away from the TV to cable it. It's basically then just like any other TV provider, you get a choice of channels, HD package, etc,etc I found the picture quality slightly better than sky as well for some reason. I have since moved my mobile contract to BT and now only pay a fiver a month to which I was paying £21 a month to Vodafone for the same contract beforehand. I don't work for BT either.! I have seen mixed reviews but so far I have no complaints .
