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

I agree, for me they have the worst time slot of the weekend aswell. No chance I would pay for the channel when Sky Sports already show so many games.

I prefer the earlier Sat slot, I'm normally home that time and out and about later so I used to miss a lot of the ESPN games. Sunday is the best day for to have slots in my view. A good thing BR have is all the Xmas, Easter and bank holiday slots which is where they have a lot of first picks too.

... for what it's worth as we won't be seeing it on VM

How many is a lot and how many will be leaving?

Agreed.

Also I question anyone who says they're an avid sports fan but refuses to pay for it. Can't be that big a fan then if you are willing to miss your team in action. An avid fan of something does not miss his team/player/artist in action and would not see the lack of BT Sport, with some of the excellent content they've aquired, as acceptable. the end.

Of course, it is completely unheard of for VM to put their prices up!

I'm not talking about myself ffs, I don't only think of myself. I've mentioned 10 times that I have sky freesat as well as virgin. I'm sorted. i'm getting it. albeit at an inconvenience. I still think it's outrageous if virgin don't do a deal.

Cant see many leaving, Virgin are not stupid:
Would you join BT, just for one EPL game per week (and very little else in their TV schedules)?
Would you join Sky and pay an extra £15 per month (and inferior broadband)?
It is not just all about BT sport :confused:
