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

the fact is you are wrong. they have 18 first pick games. these are games that would have been on Sky last season, on BT now. that's kinda a big deal.

also Sky have overloaded their picks. wait til christmas onwards. united vs liverpool and arsenal vs chelsea will be on it before the season closes. the merseyside derby is on it for a start. this is a game that was never on Prem+, Setanta, or ESPN. never. ever.

BT games as I understand it will occupy the Saturday early slot. Man U/Man City/Arsenal/Chelsea/Spurs/Wigan (!) will most probably be in the European competitions and so their games will be scheduled for Sunday/Monday so I doubt Sky have overloaded their picks just used common sense!

I moved my TV to Sky last November so could get BT Sports but at £12 a pop for second choice matches at a time I either can't watch or can see on a TV in a bar before my team play just isn't worth it IMHO. When my 12 month half price deal with Sky expires I will review my options hence my keeping a eye on this thread.

I honestly think that channels will just appear on Thursday with a announcement later that day

At least for now the £15 you have to ring up and order option for BT Sport does seem unlikely....

Try not be be so offensive. I fully understand some people like yourself view football as the holy grail, but others, like myself could not give a stuff.

Wanna join the 'Lets have a '24' channel rather than BT Sports channel' movement?

We don't have many members, but as I recall, Wolfie Smith only had 6 members of the Tooting Popular Front, and he did OK. ;):)

In an ideal world I would like to have a long list of channels that I can select what I want to subscribe and just pay for that. That will never happen because of the enforced bundling of unpopular channels by the content distributors.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.

If Virgin have done a deal I'd have figured announcing it now would be late enough? Most customers aren't on this website... Surely most die hard sport fans will have swapped by now if they were that bothered?

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 20:41.
