If you look under your 'options' (user CP > Edit options) you can disable PM's there.

Been given a tasty rumour today i think 20% chance of it happening though, according to my rumour source (a new one) BT and NBC will team up at the next bidding session for both premiership and football league rights.
NBC do hold premier league rights in the USA so i'm going to be following this rumour closely and will ofcourse update with anymore info i get.

Those 3 in bold are exactly the same ones i have been given and ofcourse natgeo wild hd which i mentioned ages ago it was coming.
The 5 i am still convinced they are regional channels i can't think of any others unless they may be spiketv and trutv and mtv classics, i'll dig around see if i can find anything out.
Spiketv seems unlikely though unless Viacom and vm have reached a agreement.

By regional channels, do you mean Local TV or regional variants of, say, BBC1 or ITV?

Wow this is very interesting...If they do team up, would it just mean Sky paying more and then we will get another Sky Sports increase?

But its definitely worth watching and seeing what happens

Yeah because that will really help , aren't we already paying well over the odds now for Sky Sports and BT Sports owing to fierce rivalry.

Another bumper payday for footballers the only change being then we now pay BT for the majority.

Thankfully my pay TV days will be long over then.

Football League rights have just recently been extended to 2019 so there may be a bit of waiting on that one.

Prices will go up anyway with Sky on the scene.

However, if Sky were forced out of the premierships, and decided to focus on something other than sport for its principal offering, maybe we would see some common sense coming through on bids and prices in the longer term.

It won't happen this time around, though, it's true.
