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

I see a mass exodus from VM coming tomorrow if nothing happens in regards to the BT Sports channels by 10am !!!

Personally unless BT Sports also took the DTM and NASCAR rights as well (I think they will go back up for auction) not having them makes no difference to me.

Be interesting to see how many a "mass exodus" is - I bet its a lot less than people think.

Only the die hard footy fans will truthfully be affected

I consider myself a die hard footy fan but At the moment I can't see myself jumping ship for BT Sports. I'd prob buy it if it was on VM but prob won't leave if it isn't. I've seen the games and on the balance I don't think it's worth the hassle!

Agreed. People mostly cannot afford to pay twice for the football. Also forums not representative of the cable customer.....

But you can't get BT sport directly from Sky.

It might depend on how big the impasse is as well.
