The reason they aren't announcing it now is because BT and Sky and VM have agreements with VM to get people to leave VM and switch over to sky or BT. When this time has elapsed as part of this deal BT sport will be announced as arriving on VM when stated and Atlantic shortly after. There will therefore be no reason not to offer Atlantic to VM customers on the XL package as they will lose advertising revenue with people downloading GoT via torrents. I believe that VM will have a wholesale price for VM customers, so it may only cost a little bit more for XL customers than prior with ESPN. It isn't going to cost an extra subscription just the XL price as far as I am aware.

To BomberAf I salute you.

By tomorrow we will now whether this was correct. If it is there is no doubt the best scoop ever on CF and you have truly be forever mortalised by CF people as a person "in the know".

If the whole thing was elaborated not only have you successfully duped us all on here but also all the journalist and media watchers that have been qouting "done deals, meetings and announcement". This single post also manage to capture all our interests and and hotly debated its arrival, cost and position and even break the monopoly.

Re-reading it againon face value if I was to believe it the whole logic seems to be the most categorically daftest agreement ever by any two companies, lords know why I even consider it a possibility but it was the hope of believing that it would made me think you could be right.

You got me that all I can say and I salute you for creatring the theatre and making me sign up to CF after all these years of watching from a distance.
