A day on the house

Twenty-four hours, free

Watch a match, find your channels, see how it copes on a Saturday night. Then decide, or don't.

THE GIST

The free day starts when your log-in arrives and runs for 24 hours on one set, with the full line-up and library. No card, no automatic upgrade, no strings.

  • Tell us your screen so you get the right steps.
  • Test at the time you watch most, ideally an evening.
  • If anything stutters, the buffering guide fixes most causes in minutes.

A checklist for your free day

  1. Find your channels. Search for the three you would miss most.
  2. Watch at peak time. 8pm to 10pm is when home broadband is busiest; see the broadband guide.
  3. Check the programme guide. Listings should appear; if not, read the programme guide fixes.
  4. Look up a film or series. Or ask us before you pay.
  5. Ask us something. Time how long the answer takes.

Free day questions

Is a card needed?
Not at all. Payment details never come up, and the day simply runs out.
Can a household try two sets?
The free day is for one set. Deciding between rentals for a busy house? Ask and we can open a second set for the same 24 hours.
What happens afterwards?
Nothing, unless you choose a rental. The log-in stops and nobody chases you.
