I'm glad they closed Espn America in a way, because all the baseball is in hd now.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

Nope.

It not the real free day as Sky are just rebroadcasting Sky Sports 1 on Sky2 for 12 hours.

For all we know if ESPN did not sell out to BT we may have ended up with ESPN America HD as ESPN deal with Virgin Media ended on July 31st 2013.

a truly sensational piece of business by virgin media. i'd love to know how it all transpired. it goes completely against BT's business model. did bt fold at the last? Did virgin make concessions about the price to pay? was the deal already agreed months ago ala bomberAF rumour.

be interesting to know

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

No. I don't think that will influence Sky at all. And Sky are fighting BT these days - Virgin Media is more a partner in the pay TV market for them, rather than a competitor. They each need the other.
The trade journal Broadcast reported on Sky discussing Atlantic with VM back in June (it wasn't BomberAF who started that particular story) and there were reports in other trade press last year that Sky had decided to wholesale the channel to other carriers.
I'm hopeful we'll see it on VM within a month but I don't have any inside info on that other than that posted on CF by HowardMicks and BomberAF.
But you definitely won't see Sky channels in HD on BT, nor Sky1, Atlantic or any of the others, even in SD

l suspect there was give and take on both sides despite the sabre rattling and brinkmanship.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

Heard someone in Tesco this morning moaning about having to pay for BT Sports when Virgin customers get it free. When the person he was with said didn't he have Virgin, he said no he had cancelled on August 2 and had SKY installed on the 9th. I laughed to myself over it all. He was going to try cancelling SKY today to go back to Virgin, doubt he will have much luck though.

Virgin are advertising VIP with 50 HD channels already.

I've been out of contract for ages and have been waiting to see what happened with BT sports, I will probably be open to resigning with VM now, would still like some decent 3d content and ssp 3 in hd but I'm sure ill manage, anybody have any idea if they will give me 2 tivos if i sign on vip100?

Yes, Nialli is missing NHK World HD from his list as far as I can see

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

I reckon they are counting the BBC Red Button HD :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

They might do. Phone them up and say you are switching from sky more than likely you will get a good deal. I have 2 TiVo's but I got one in after install.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

Do we know what the situation is with sports rights which will be broadcast on ESPN? I thought ESPN would just be ESPN america and was going through the football tonight and have found french football is actually being broadcast on ESPN tonight. Is all french football on ESPN?

Might get a bit confusing if its not...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
 

You're missing BBC TWO HD from that list ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
