They are not ignoring they are just not allowed to say anything until BT have done their little marketing job, until then VM have to keep quiet. When VM announce then BT will then change their strategy and sell themselves as friends of everyone and tell the world what great people they are. I am sure everyone will all agree.

I agree with the thoughts of Bomber. Virgin are on an incredible roll so far this year in terms of adding channels. I think BT Sports is almost a cert. SKY are now 2 and a half years into their 5 year deal with HBO. I think they might now consider cashing in. SKY's uptake rate is grinding to a halt. The fact they are counting NOW TV customers as new TV customers is telling.

Not almost, is a deal done, just having to keep quiet until they can announce it.

I believe Atlantic will possibly be arriving on the first of August with BT Sport, but if not it should be there in August some time.

That would be good news 'cause where I live is Virgin Media heavy. My chums would like access to BT sports.

A bit off topic however how far away do you stay from Huyton?

The numbers are declining nobody can argue with that point however its worth remembering that a Now TV subscriptions ongoing monthly cost is more than BT make out of their tv channels and more than M+ with V HD (no phone line) so its hardly surprising Sky have lumped these figures in with its traditional satellite customers , entertainment is to be added at some point to Now TV this brings the opportunity of even more revenue.

Have no doubt bt sports will appear on VM although not sure in what guise as yet, your view is simply your view at the moment.

Any deal that is share price influencing has to be shared with the major shareholders at the earliest opportunity and that has not happened to date.

As I said, I'm sure a deal will be done but nothing has happened as yet.
