Correct, BT Sports is free this weekend

Absolutely concur. Awful picture, awful sound and awful programming ... and to expect people to pay nearly £10 for SD in this modern era of television is horrendous business. They should charge a maximum of £2.99 for a channel of this quality.

So premier sport is ticked off. That's how you launch a channel fox+. Straight in there and launched. Fox + will be on my gravestone at this rate

So if we can get fox + out the way, netflix and then those missing sky channels next that'll be super ...

Any juicy gossip likely to happen today

Premier Sport isn't really "ticked off" it's just responding to pressure from MPs to have the World Cup shown in UK as being pretty darn stupid that the host nation can't even show to its country!

Once it goes premium then no longer available to regular VM viewers so technically "ticked on" again

Can't agree - it will still be available on VM (albeit at a price but so is everything else) for those who want it - so "ticked off" again

Not they haven't yet. That's the point isn't it?

Not yet, but I'm sure they will - it's only been on VM for 4 (ish) hours, so relax a bit!

I'm not going to mention again how the letters MP were used in the article to make it stand out. It just happened to be that the leader of a Rugby Group was an MP. His request to Virgin Media was not in a government capacity, and it was a single MP and MPs

If I've done the math(s) correctly, then MB is still under one more DNP order?

Was PS launching one of them?

The twitter posts the other day more or less confirmed it was happening before MB posted about it maybe happening.

Got to say not bothered with this channel as the only sports I like are pretty much covered by eurosport/bt sport and bbc. Netflix is what i'm waiting for
