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

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. ;):)

I'm going to be whistling the theme tune all night now !

At the risk of being called a grump and a load of abuse my way, I'll be pleased when this is settled one way or the other. Although I agree, I would hate to be working in retentions should the channels not come to Virgin.

Mark l will always be nice to you no matter how grumpy Victor can be at times.:)

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.

BT games are LUNCHTIME at half twelve....

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.

That's a matter of opinion, and imo the games BT are showing is nothing to write home about! I certainly will not be paying any extra (if indeed that is the case) to watch the line up that BT are showing.

Seems like all these articles are based on the original Broadcast Now article. I.e., only one source. I truly wish there were more independent sources, and that it does happen, because although I don't give a 'T' about football, there are many on here who do. It will also be good for VM to have the full complement of major sports channels on offer.

I will be very disappointed if we don't get these channels for free, when we lost VoD Warner TV I was close to dumping VM. It made up 90% of the VoD content I watched! Add that to the other channels lost and soon to be lost, its a significant degradation of the XL package.
But I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed , although I would settle for Netflix or LoveFilms being including in the XL package!

An announcement on my TIVO:

From 1st August ESPN, ESPNHD America and Classic wont be available from any TV provider.

There are still plenty of ways to get our sports fix with Virgin media.

with British eurosport you can catch world championship atthletics. Plus you can keep up with all the sporting highlights on sky sports news.

What about this so called announcement today about BT Sport. I find VM totally disgusting and typical of a company that show contempt for its customers.

This is the way it treats its thousands of customers if they won't say anything.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 13:18.
