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

If BT said VM can't do a press release until 1st August then VM might as well carry on negotiations until the latest possible moment (5.30 today maybe) ... that is the only thing giving me any hope the moment and maybe why four channels are being tested at the mo.

Excuse the newbie daft question, but how could VM be testing channels which, to our knowledge, they currently have not settled negotiations on?

Would be the other way around, Shirley?

Not many but once you set a example of adding something to a package then customers will expect that all the time Hugh.

Well, I don't recall loads on DS or CF continually posting to say they would, so probably a figure in the vicinity of not very many, if any, at all....;)

I do think that the BT line of saying there is no deal with VM so VM customers should come over to us for BT Spprts does sound like a bit of a desperate last gasp to me. I don't know why, but that's just the way it seems to sound to me.

When I joined VM, ESPN was already included in the XL package

It's all I have, plenty of time to change providers before the Premiership starts and don't mind missing the first week..

It's not just the time they'll negotiate up until, it's the time BT customer services closes at tonight - the last opportunity to draw in all the VM panickers. Or for that matter, Sky's customer services if people decide to move, rather than wait a day.

If we can exercise some patience to get to within the final few hours, then we can survive them too.
