l am sure they will find something to repeat on there next season.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
 

Maybe moving SPFL Football from Sky Sports 3 or Sky Sports 4 (After all it Scottish;))

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
 

Good question Den , I personally think VM will negotiate a deal to include the Champions League for XL subscribers but I suppose it could go anyway. I think BT see Sky and Talk Talk as the big competitors as both operate on the Openreach network meaning its easier for customers to move phone and broadband.

BT in my opinion would receive low viewing figures if every platform is forced to pay the additional £5 a month. As I say all guesswork on my behalf.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
 

I have to agree with you MM...we haven't seen much happening from VM this year, maybe their plan was to make sure the football stays in the XL package... I hope so anyway :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
 

By bill has gone up 9 odd quid so the five quid for the champions league and 4 quid for costs of the network extra... Fair deal!

Undoubtedly though we won't hear anything until the last minute and the new cheap cost cutting and profit increasing virgin media will strike again!

Have a feeling us vm subscribers won't get much info from the bt sport cl launch tomorrow

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
 

Yes it might be a last minute thing again knowing Virgin's consistent track record.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
 

Who knows, perhaps they won't pay BT the subs anymore. Perhaps they will pay for Atlantic instead? BT TV is reasonably attractive (provided you don't care about the Sky branded channels, which are poor IMO) in comparison to VM. I think it's about time VM gave non-sports fans something back in the XL package.
That being said, I would always prefer free sport but it's not right that non-sports fans continue to "pay" for a service they don't watch.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
 

Well said Harry.

It doesn't affect me these days, but it did for all those years that I did have XL.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
 

The only way my team will be in Europe is if there's a war :rolleyes:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
 

We have just seen some info - will reveal all later.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
 

I imagine they'll be one or two changes tomorrow with the closure of Sky Arts 2 and Sky's EPG rejig.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
 

I may be able to reveal something to you all this week, i'm just waiting for the all clear.
