Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I thought it was in a press article on seenit or somewhere?

I'm sure it had a typo and was called lifestyle instead of lifetime.

It was on a press release as lifestyle.

That's the old one?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

At the top it has August 2015 and has all the new channel numbers...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

ah see it now, thanks

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Where's BT Sport Showcase the freeview sports channel thought we where getting it as can't see it on the channel numbers list

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I thought Lifetime might have moved to the entertainment section? Now there's no room for LifetimeHD. Or will Lifetime move later, which will make room for CI HD?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

Think that's only for the Freeview platform. On VM and Sky it will make BT Sport Europe FTV for some matches. It can't do that on Freeview as BT Sport is not present on that platform.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

There is chat on other forums that Sky & BT have both agreed a deal with La Liga were the rights are split between them, no details as of yet just a rumour for now.

Slightly off topic I know but it certainly increases the appeal of BT Sport Europe.

Interesting news if true Rich.

Not more football, there should be 2 XL packages one with sport and one without

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

See this post.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
 

I actually think that they should make L a bit better with a few more HD channels, the difference between M+ and L is so small its almost pointless having two.

If you broke down the cost of XL by channel then we would all moan about the cost of different elements we don't watch/use. I'd probably moan about the charges for all the Sky channels.

However BT Sport (and ESPN, Setanta before hand) has probably delivered/retained significant extra numbers to help keep the overall price competitive. XL compares well to the Sky equivalent with their HD add on.

Thanks, yes aware of the this, although in the last week rights have been sold around the world on the basis of 3 to 4 year deals including the upcoming season. Still no update on UK rights just the rumour that BT and SKY are sharing whether it be for 12 months or longer.

Will be interesting as these are the last set of major football rights up for grabs for the next year or so.
