Nope, can't see that happening.

You could argue if there was a viable choice (ie a price), people would drop the BT sport, for sky. But I would be very surprised it happening the other way

hahahha passionate

I heard you and Rupert are drinking buddies? What was your share options this year? Did you get the million pound pay out from the shares? Go to ruperts Australian French imported mansion?

No you're a customer. We're customers of another tv provider. We pay money and someone flicks a switch giving us moving images. Unless you are getting money paid to you based on skys success there is no need for this

calm down colin... its only a tv provider :angel:

Are you on drugs? (I mean the recreational ones, not any of the ones you may normally take for your condition).

I said that the vitriolic comments about BT sports (that some were making) made the proposition about dropping sky sports as unlikely.

You might consider reading a post before commenting. It will help you lots.

I didn't want to get overly excited by the thought of getting the remaining skysports HD channels but I can't rule that out either :shocked::):shocked::):shocked::)

IF (and I appreciate its a big IF) would that be a waiver of £7 charge or just the additional channels for £7, anyone got an inclination/thought?

Wow; did VM know exactly how earth shattering adding BT sports to XL TV would really be!!!?

Three Sky stalwarts ready to defect; MM, Chad and Mr Stokes. I'm beginning to think that's why they did it :D

It will be great to have you all back :cool:

I am sure you are correct and people would not want to pay extra.

The part of my post you quoted was me saying that Sky's only plus points against VM (in my eyes) are the extra HD channels and Sky Atlantic, which a number of people would seemingly prefer to have as part of their package.

Customers who do pay for BT Sport though, have decided they can afford to, or have decided they can not be without it and may or may not have made sacrifices in their finances elsewhere to fund BT Sports.

There is a lot to consider currently. If you phoned Sky today and threatened to leave them and said BT Sports was a big factor in your decision, I reckon you would get a pretty decent deal from them though.:)

As nice as it would be to have you back from the dark side, it would mean less banter from you Sky boys.:(
