Cable Forum - General ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

I have spoken with CS at 5pm, as we can nio longer get ESPN, although its part of the package we are on.

We have been told that they are still locked in talks and are NOT prepared to say anything else.

BT Sports starts tonight at 6pm, so it looks like we are not getting it.

VM are a disgrace for this, they tell you to contact there website and register your interest, but that is all they will say.

This is supposed to be a company with good customer relations - absolutely crap.

Too strong Arthur... that word you use would be apt if they weren't bothering.

If you think they are that bad you can move.

Right now, tv turned over to ESPN to see the third place play off of the Audi cup

Oh the sheer excitement of such coverage.... :D

Your welcome...I am now drinking tea, watching the teams coming out (they had a quick show on, but it was guys wearing Bayern kit, with one guy who looked like he had eaten the current team in one sitting)

I will get something to eat soon too (thought I would give you the whole "Colin watching BT sport experience") :D

Doug, I can assure you that l don't mince my words with anyone.

I have told many companies over the years what l think of them, l am paying for a service, through hard earned money to watch Tv channels - and my big sport is football.

I work in customer service, and yet VM have now taken channels off ie ESPN, which is part of a package that l pay for - we they give me a reduction in my bill. Of course they won't.

I can assure you that if BT Sport is not on by the time the Premier League kicks off, then that is it.

I had a quarrel with VM over the numbers that appear on our screen and as VM would not give me a valid reason, l called Sky, they got VM, to call me, and they blatantly told me that it could be ME that is streaming live games to other houses.

Thats why l am a straight talker and say what l think.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

I work in customer service too... let's agree to disagree on that.

I hope you find more satisfaction on the other side. I am just quietly pleased not to have had to pay for ESPN for however many years it is. If BT Sport turns up on XL great, but doubt it. Won't be moving from VM as they have been excellent for me and I find their CS pretty good all in all certainly compared to BT who are bordering on dire imo....

Arthur,there are probably a few Companies out there who would like to tell you exactly what they think of you!!....but alas they are to professional to do so,if I where you I would spend your hard earned money elsewhere and save yourself all this aggro....:rolleyes:

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

I did not say I thought it was free in XL I said it was a bonus to have it....

Patience is required until we know whether BT and VM can deal.
