Like I said to someone else, every Sky subscriber most probably has another TV in the house where they will watch SSN, so you can only imagine that they want people to opt for Sky Multiroom or to get them to subscribe per se. Very greedy if you ask me and does nothing for their current subscribers who will feel very let down.

Yeah it sure is a pain it's not like now you can leave the Mrs with the remote and run off into the other room for a couple of hours peace while watching SSN especially of an evening when there is a full fixture list on.

Quite a few bars/pubs and grounds rely on SSN pre match/ half time and full time

Yeah to be fair I am supprised it was ever on freeview and I just hope they at least keep it on the basic sky package and not put it on the sports package.
