I have access to Racing TV, but apparently it's a premium channel. I only have the Sky Signature and Sky Cinema packs. I'm on Sky Q in Ireland. Additionally, I have not bought any subscription from Racing TV or for any sports.
Is Racing TV now free-to-air or included with Sky Signature?
(Also have HBO Max Standard, Disney+ Standard, Paramount+ (with Sky Cinema) dunno if it's included with these)

I can also view this channel. But according to their website it certainly isn't free or included in a Sky package. Can only assume a glitch.

Re: Racing TV
If I recall right, like Sky Sports mix, Sky Sports Racing is available to those with the Sky Signature pack.
On Sky Stream/Glass is available to those with Essenial TV pack and UIltimate TV pack.
No Sky Sports pack needed.
Do not think it's FTA.
Sky Stream with two pucks via wifi (former Sky Q and Sky+ customer).
Sky Ultrafast + using Sky SR203 hub. Sky Mobile unlimited data. Sky Smart Home - Bundle Smart Home plan +
My good journey to Sky Stream from Sky Q. Click here to read

This is specifically for Racing TV, on channel 424 on Sky Q only, not Sky Sports Racing. Racing TV is not available on Sky Glass/Stream.

Re: Racing TV
Seems to be Premium again. Definetly a glitch.

Re: Racing TV
Wonder if they allow the programmes in between the Live Racing to be FTA. The current 'Live Racing' began at 2.15pm

Ok, never heard of that channel, but then horse racing is not a sport I'd ever watch.
Ill pass then.

Yes they have freeview periods, usually the preview programme "Mark your Card" is broadcast free, before the live racing starts.
