Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Maybe not many virgin customers were moving over for several reasons 1) they would have to change their tv subscriber as well, which sky customers don't

2) A lot of virgin customers may not bother to have a phoneline, seeing as they don't need one to have broadband, so going to bt they'd have to have one and how much would that cost them

Possibly free access to Netflix

More likely lovefilm

I see freakgirl but if this is so as it could well be then their original aim has failed at least to some extent....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

The don'y have to, as ESPN was a bonus. What they do need to do is provide a sweetener for customers to stay and something to draw new ones. I still reckon that's where Sky Atlantic and other HD variants might play the part, leaving BT Sports as a stand alone premium add-on.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

But we have been hearing about Netflix for two years at least but alas nothing has ever happened TB.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

They don't have to compensate as channels are added and removed all the time and they have pretty much said that the price won't change as a result of channels being added/removed.

However due to ESPN also being treated as a standalone premium offering there is a perceived value of £10. The most fair offering would be a £5pm charge for XL customers for BT & ESPN in HD.

I expect it to be excluded from XL but charged at a discounted £8 to £10 pm for XL customers and maybe free for first month.

We will know soon enough.

I Wouldn't mind paying for it, no more than 10 per month though.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

If it was just for the football I wouldn't pay it but its the only place I can watch UFC. So I will pay whatever unfortunately.

you not seen the news it coming mate ;)


Virgin Media is poised to close a deal to carry BT Sport’s three sports channels on its cable TV platform, making them available to a further 4m potential customers.


The two companies have been in negotiations for a number of months but both have been keen to strike a deal ahead of BT Sport’s launch on Thursday 1 August.

BT Sport has the rights to the Scottish Premier League, which begins its season on Friday 2 August,and wanted to have carriage on Virgin in time for its first TV game - Partick Thistle versus Dundee United - so as not to alienate football fans who are VM customers. The English Premier League season starts on August 17th.

One of the sticking points of negotiations has been whether Virgin will bundle the new channels in with its TV XL premium package - as was previously the case with ESPN - or whether it will charge for them as a standalone product.

It is not clear which route has been taken, but a Virgin Media spokesman said: We’re always looking bring the best possible value and choice of great quality content to our customers and we’re talking to BT about how we could potentially make the forthcoming BT Sport package available.”

Earlier this year, Virgin Media sent an online survey out to customers asking whether they would be willing to pay slightly more for their top package if it were to include Premier League football and Sky Atlantic, which could pave the way for this move.

BT Sport is being sold as a standalone channel on the Sky platform for £12 a month in SD and £15 a month in HD
