cool..did not know

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

All the big three offer line rental savings by paying in advance.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Don't you have to wrangle with customer support on Sky for it?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

You have to phone I believe , last time I asked it was £119.40 equivalent to £9.95 a month , meaning VM and Sky both beat BT's line rental saver which according to Dens earlier link has increased to £141 a year.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

It's 120 with Virgin isn't it?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

<off topic> No wrangling just only available by calling Sky instead of online like everything else.

As muppetman said it's £119.40. Realistically I would it expect this to be going up on Sky soon too. Probably around September with the other price rises to do with the new sports (football) deal starting then.

It's been £119.40 for more than a year and survived the normal line rental going up in September 2012 (new customers) / December 2012 (existing customers).

<on topic> IMHO, without a BT sports deal and with better broadband (truly uncapped fibre) then Sky may be a bit more bullish and less concerned about Virgin in coming months.

BT have stated they see no need to "wholesale" their sports package so they will be looking for full retail value on this from Virgin.
So Virgin need to decide do they sell it with no profit, sell it at a loss to remain competitive or sell it at a premium to get a profit margin on it.

Nice to see them use (european feed) Eurosport HD & Eurosport 2 logos which we don't have anymore and the old Sky Box Office logo.

Saying that they're still using the British flag VM logo at the top and the even older VM one in the footer with the wrong copyright date, so they can't even get their own logo right.

Being OCD should be a job.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Looks plausible to me. It is the date from which you are asserting copyright, so should be the date the page was first published. It is wrong to keep updating them.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Surely though if they've just updated it twice (including replacing the best part of the content due to the removal of ESPN) that makes it incorrect?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

No. This explains it well

"What copyright date should I Use?
Well most web designers use the current date, which is just crazy. So you designed something in 2005, but your copyright date is this year "Ⓒ 2012 New World Designs"... which means it is copyrighted from this year only, so if your competition can show they had it last year, then they can say it is theirs? Can you imagine if Apple released the next iPhone saying it was copyright to this year... Samsung would have a party and claim everything was theirs."

Top up TV to stop broadcasting Sports Channels.

An TuTV viewer has confirmed that:

-From July 1st Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2 will no longer broadcast on Top Up TV / Freeview Channels 41 and 42.

-From midnight on July 31st ESPN will no longer broadcast on Top Up TV / Freeview Channel 34.

But Negotiations with BT are on-going.
