As Virgin carry both Eurosport + Eurosport2 but NOT British Eurosport does anyone know if plain old Eurosport will carry it?

looking at their schedule it looks like it could well be on Eurosport2 HD :)

are they both the same these days? I know when British Eurosport was launched there was an overlap but not on everything. I haven't watched it in years admittedly.

I'm not an expert but as far as I can see (the logo on the channels give it away) Eurosport on Virgin Media is British Eurosport.

Not really any good for me with overnight starts unless they do a highlights show?

“We will show all our Monday Night Football Live and in HD and support that with extended highlights played out in UK prime time the following night.

it also said at the bottom of their website that it is available on Virgin Media (duh!)

Hi Yank, we are all set for the next two years as far as TV is concerned on Sky, Channel 4 and British Eurosport, good news for NFL fans.

Hey Bear,

Just hope they use the American commentators and not the awful in studio announcing they are renound for. Guess we will find out soon ;)

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 
i think it has already been confirmed the commentary will be the original ESPN feed. so that good news.

i am not sure what if any studio analysis will be provided- possibly the ESPN feed again- that would be fine with me.

as Bear says HD games on C4 and Eurosport to compliment the Sunday Sky games and set for the next 2 seasons- excellent.

All i need now is for the Giants to win ;)

Well i have to admit that the coverage of Rugby on BT sport is good :tu:

I seem to be well covered for watching the egg chasing :)

I find some of the BT summarisers rather annoying on the club rugby. Moan moan moan! Pics very good though....

Whilst BT Sports is a great addition for XL subscribers its pretty average sports content wise , I certainly wouldn't pay for it as a standalone.
