It will be for the two companies to reach a mutually acceptable arrangement agreeable to both parties.

Otherwise Virgin could (say) absorb the cost of the Sky Premium Channels, then advertise that they offer the Sky Premium channels for free to the customer, whereas Sky charge extra.

I'd imagine the £12 for SD, £15 for HD, is what we'll see, same as Sky.
Maybe the question for VM is whether they can subsidise it themselves and include it in TV XL (and whether BT would be happy with that). I wouldn't have thought the cost to VM would be that high if it was done, say, as an introductory three month offer and it may prove a sufficient lure to retain or attract casual footie fans who don't want the full Sky Sports extravaganza

Very doubtful that going to the pub to watch games saves money at all. Good fun and all that, but not cheap.

Yeah some idiot on facebook was telling me to do that, when I complained about this BT Sport deal making it more expensive for the customer. Got to get up with a hangover, showered, bus or train, and 3 or 4 pints that's about £20+ per game. x38 gamesyou're looking at over £800 for a year of Premier League football if you want to watch every game, which I do.

Don't get me wrong, I love a nice or pint or four down the pub, however you don't need to drink beer, you can have a coke. It is cheaper and wont give you a hangover. I'd prefer a pint though:)

Soft drink certainly aren't cheap and drinking them all night may give you a headache as well as rotting your teeth away
