It will also make it quicker to restore the channels if/when a deal is done.

There is no deal with Sky, far from it, BT Sport just has an entry on the SKY EPG.

b) VM can just take BT Sport 'at any price'. Business just doesn't work like that. BT call all the shots on this one so VM are at BTs behest and have to 'sit and suffer' whilst negotiating what they consider a feasible price.

c) VM can can say anything more than 'we are in talks with...'
They cannot. These will be commercially sensitive negotiations and because of this, their hands will be tied along with those at BT, who would have to abide to Stockmarket regulations and NOT be allowed to say anything that would be considered share price sensitive.

I've said here previously, I am 100% certain that BT Sport will be made available to VM. I truly think it would be commercially stupid for VM/BT not to come to an agreement. At what cost to VM customers... who knows? Perhaps £10 to £15.

I fully intend to take it WHEN it arrives on VM...and am prepared to pay for it and hope that HD variant is available in any package offering.

Interesting that BT Sport have decided to put the match score and station logo at the botom of the screen rather than the top. Not sure yet whether I like it or not. What do others think? Also,didn't sky sports try it that way a couple of years ago but reverted to the normal way after a week or two?

I saw the logo on the BT Sport game, l think there is a good reason for that. To see how many people call and complain about it.

If l was watching the channel, l would certainly complain about it.
