Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 2

Sky have the rights to around 500 internationals Vince. The Euro 2016 qualifiers are now structured over 4 days per round, with at least 2 kick-off times each day. Helps fill up the TV schedule a bit! http://www1.skysports.com/news/11096/8712153

Ahhh! that is going to be a lot of games on tv then! starts to make more sense now!

Sa ain't coming soon bud,vm have to pay for that.sports channels we pay for and come sept watch the price hike,I personally struggle to watch the 4 we have never mind a 5th

Couldn't agree more that's dead cert in my opinion , someone has to pay for two years free broadband and increased sporting rights costs.

i can already see this conversation

me: "why are you putting up all the sport prices??"
sky: "We have more sport than ever on more channels than ever!!"
me: "But youve lost the champions league rights?"
sky: "We have champions league matches more games than ever next year!"
me: "but from 2015 you dont so why are the prices going up?"
sky: "We have more matches than ever on more channels than ever!"
me: "youre ignoring my point are you?"
sky: "we have more matches than ever on more channels than ever!"

A slight edit on what I said. The games are over 3 days not 4. Doesn't alter the amount they'll show though.

Unless MB is aware of sky sports about to capture bundesliga, French ligue, serie A? I thought BT sport had just recently won these rights tho

I am hearing that BT are showing football from Spain from August 2015.

I'm assuming that the launch of Sky Sports 5 was the reason for no launch date being advised. We should have guessed something was afoot even before the leaks! Next time...

Base on info I have seen the missing Sky Sports are set to launch in July. With Sky Sports 5 to follow on August 12th.

I was told to 'Enjoy the world cup'.;)

I can now reveal:

The channel will be available to both Sky and Virgin Media customers - in both SD and HD - and will go some way to remedy the fact it will be losing Champions League football to arch rival BT Sport from 2015.

Unlike other channels that just magically appear in your EPG, if you want Sky Sports 5 (which is free to Sports subscribers) then you have to register by pressing the Red button on your Sky remote from 12 June or by going online.

My own view is we may see Sky Sports News moving to after Sky Sports F1.

So it:

Sky Sports 1
Sky Sports 2
Sky Sports 3
Sky Sports 4
Sky Sports 5
Sky Sports F1
Sky Sports News

Sky Sports 1 - 501 / 511 HD

Sky Sports 3 - 503 / 513 HD
Sky Sports 4 - 504 / 514 HD
Sky Sports 5 - 505 / 515 HD
Sky Sports F1 - 506 / 516 HD
Sky Sports News

- 507 / 517 HD

Could it be like this, MB?

With the HD channels following suit in my example above.
Seems nicely laid out on the EPG, VM will probably do something completely different ;)
