Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.

BT Sport to be available on Virgin Media

It's unlikely BT Sport will be offered free of charge - BT and Virgin Media are competitors, after all - but it's possible the channels could be bundled in with the Sky Sports, currently available on Virgin Media from £15.50 per month.

Erm except that didn't "sum it up" nicely at all mate. Not at all. Saying why don't Virgin just get ESPN, as that would be alright over BT Sports is not true because 99.999% of people want it for the Premier League. Just because about 5 American Football saddos would be delighted with that outcome doesn't mean it would be a good decision to not get BT Sports.

Say Virgin got to keep ESPN but didn't get BT Sport. Great! we've got sport!!!! lovely sport. fantastic. now, when's the match kicking off!? oh, right.

99.999% of people left unable to watch the Premier League, England is a football country and we want our football, so therefore acquiring ESPN would be a waste of time and money on its own and would provide zero consolation for not getting BT Sport.

Just a rehash of yesterday's news, that. which was barely news in itself as it STILL failed to reveal exactly how it's going to be provided within the service. sigh.

again it's just people hedging their bets as far as i can see.

Any "proper" football fan won't give a damn about BT Sports as with their early Saturday KO times they'll be on the way to watch their team in action. There are games played the length and breadth of England every Saturday that don't appear on any TV channel!

Its an article that offers zero new info and which is using a picture of the BBC coverage team for the FA Cup for some reason to illustrate an article about BT Sports.

I am keeping an eye on the size of this thread if it gets too long I will launch Vol. 4 early.

And maybe an extra thread in October.

And if you post what has actually come to Virgin Media throughout the entire 3 volumes you would probably only need around six posts......just saying!!!;) ;)

2, I am number 12,900-odd on my club's season ticket waiting list. and every premier league match sells out at my local team. so it's not like i can go every week. and my team also play away every 2 weeks, and i sure as hell don't/can't travel away as the demand for that is a closed shop.

so, yknow, cheers and all. but you're wrong.

this isn't about watching just my own team either i am somebody who watches every match.

i will be getting BT Sport either way as I have a sky freesat box. I'll subscribe before the season kicks off one way or the other. but i want it on Virgin, and want other Virgin subscribers to get it too.
