Been given no confirm on talks with Sky going on with Virgin Media from any insiders.

But maybe if the Broadcastnow story is true maybe Virgin are just in talks for Sky1 +1, Pick TV +1, Sky Sports News HD and Sky News HD for all we know.

Is this Schrödinger's cat? both Old boy and Dave are right.

Until Virgin announce they have BT sport, or say they won't get it, both states are true.

Imagine, Den, a subscription to Virgin, a poison pill (subscription to Sky) and a radioactive source are placed in a sealed box...yada yada..you know the theory.

This is science, as we know it :D

I'm fascinated by the psychology here. It's been apparent for weeks that BT Sport isn't coming to VM. The payment model that BT want, the adverts on TV, the VM magazine that they've sent out in an attempt to convince us that BT doesn't exist.

I'm a big sports fan who would really, really like BTS on VM but it isn't going to happen.

The speculation (and count downs) leading up to August 1st was strange enough, but this persisting in the face of all the evidence is just silly.

The media is reporting that discussions are continuing. You have no evidence to the contrary that is convincing. Sorry!

Of course it is.

VM: Want fibre?
Sky: Well, yeah...
VM: We want Sky Atlantic.
Sky: Oh, all right then.....
