Cable Forum - General ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

I would have gone Everton, but without Moyes I cannot see them doing it. Liverpool have under performed for years considering the amount of money they have thrown at the team.

Very possibly, but I'll probably settle for top half :D

"The UK’s digital terrestrial pay-TV broadcaster Top Up TV has been unable to reach an agreement to resell BT Vision’s new sports channels on the Freeview platform. As a result, Top Up TV is withdrawing from the premium sports channel business.

The platform has done a deal with Sky to recommend that Top Up TV customers transfer to Sky at a reduced rate if they wish to continue to receive Sky Sports channels.

Top Up TV will cease broadcasting Sky Sports 1 and 2 at the end of June and will cease broadcasting ESPN at the end of July.

BT Vision will direct sell its sports channels to the customer and so bypassing both Sky and Top Up TV."

So no carriage deal with SKY, and no carriage deal with Top Up TV.

Exactly. I don't think there is a chance in hell of it being on Virgin.

Simply put, if they don't put BT Sport on Virgin, (some) people will move to Sky. Whether through BT BB or by signing up just for the sport, either way BT gets new customers.

Going through Virgin just gets them a few bob from people who now have no incentive to go to BT.

Compulsory complaint about no Sky Sports 3 HD.

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

Just my personal opinion,I think BT Sport will be made available to Virgin customers because 1) BT will want to get as many people as possible watching their new sports channels and 2) Virgin wont want to loose any customers who may well otherwise defect to either Sky or BT.
Incidently I`ve noticed BT sports is listed on the Freeview EPG so presumedly it will be available some how on that platform? Is Top Up Tv a sepperate company to Freeview? I`m only guessing but as BT want complete control of managing sles of the channels to get it on freeview you will have to buy a viewing card from BT as you did when Getting Setanta on your freeview box. Does anyone know about this at all?

BT Sport is on Freeview so people with BT Vision that can't get infinity can still watch.

This is a personal feeling and is not to be used as any form of indication that it has come from VM.

I have to agree with you and i feel sorry for those who want this channel. I am so glad however that i don't need or want this channel. Phew
