Well then, if they do, the creation of Sky Sports 5 means removing all of the CL football from BT viewers for this season, hence they cannot watch any of it.

Clever strategy from Sky if this is the case, even though they are losing CL football at the end of this season

Not so clever if BT retaliate by denying Sky the BT channel carrying the rights in future years, though. What's the betting we will be seeing BT Sports 3 when that happens - exclusive to BT and Virgin Media? ;)

Don't Sky have to show their main CL match on SS1 and SS2 JJ?.

So Sky are effectively taking Champions League football away from BT customers, and locking in new customers for two years with free broadband, meaning that they'll still be with Sky during JR's first year of Champions League coverage?

Let Sky and BT do battle I say. There's a reason why Virgin is the only place to get everything for one subscription!

DS Forum is reporting that Sky Sports 5 will be on Sky Channel 407 (not Sky Channel 405!)

So maybe Sky may rebrand Sky Sports 5 as Sky WWE in August 2015 and move Holland football to Sky Sports 3.

Spain Football is rumoured as set to move to BT Sport from August 2015.

Early round are on Sky Sports 2 and Sky Sports 4. With Sky1, Sky Sports 1 or Sky Sports 3 for stand by when three UK teams are playing.
