Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)

VM certainly pride themselves on being the only provider where all the football is in a single subscription/bundle...Like it was suggested before, this is a big selling point which I would have thought they would do a lot to keep it like this.

Fingers crossed anyway :-)

Don't get your hopes up too high on BT's statement that some of their CL's will be FTA as it will only be a handful of matches at the very most from what l understand.

Rumours says BT is set to announce something on June 9th.

PlusNet is currently selling BT Sport for £6pm SD, £7.50pm HD, but only on the Sky platform. It is not offering these on its own PlusNet YouView platform at the moment.

They have it available on the sky platform £5.99p/m sd or £7.49p/m hd but it is not on their own tv platform yet.

For vm i think btsports 1+2 will remain in the XL pack with btsport3 being available for £5p/m extra, btsport3 will have champions league matches,BT sports extra or showcase will be available in all packs for free this will have the fta matches on this is just my thoughts.
