Can anyone on sky check espn is still on,latest crap vm are saying on Facebook and twitter tha channel doesn't exist anymore

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Here is a great example of how we are all different and have different demands. VM have launched Sesame Street into the on demand channels. On DS there are comments such as


Quote - Come on Sky - play catch-up with Virgin. I'd love my daughters to watch Sesame Street whilst they're still young enough to appreciate it. I always wondered why it had been pulled from UK TV scheduling.

If you don't like the answer then ignore it or me - but don't call me a liar on a public forum.

ESPN still exists on Sky its now officially run by BT

But VM's line of ESPN not existing anymore isn't true because it does

Come on lads keep it civil.:handshake

VM are really missing a trick, appreciate them holding out for a better price but at the end of the day they should let the customer decide.

According to reports, Premier Sports, BT Sports and Sky Atlantic* were not taken up because VMs stance on price. I would have thought that quite a few customers would have been prepared to pay extra as stand alone or even an XXL TV pack.

I think I've got to the point with VM that I feel they are always going to be handed the scraps and last in the queue for content. As much as I love Tivo and their broadband service I have to say content (in particular HD) is king. So having suffered no Sky Atlantic, over a year without ITV HD, other HD channels missing I find that losing ESPN and not getting BT Sports is the last straw for me.

But you know what really f***s me off, no statement or update from VM!!!!

* less sure about that one.

If you really don't believe that the content VM provides comes under the provision 'Services' in the terms, then I don't believe you're up to much on the contract front.

yes i got sky and espn on sky bt have how got espn hd to

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

I called up to cancel yesterday (although I had no intention of doing so as I had 6 months left on my current contract and can't get Sky in my flat).

I got a £15 p/m discount, reducing my TV XL, 60MB BB & weekend phone package from £63 to £48.

Personally I think people are being a bit quick to jump down Virgin's throat on this one. BT want to get as good a wholesale price as possible from Virgin. Virgin want to keep it low to hopefully include it free on XL. By not doing a deal early Virgin will have lost quite a few customers. However this puts them in a very good bargaining position with BT in the coming weeks.

BT need the extra money that Virgin will bring in, both via wholesale subscription and additional advertising revenue from the extra viewers they will get. I would be very surprised if a deal is not done within the next few weeks.

Nice one Catesby. I think a few people will be doing that

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

Might I be so bold as to ask, from which University you got your law degree?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

It appears the main problem is BT don't want wholesale they want to control the sign up's them selves like there doing on Sky. If VM could get that system on cable like Sky have BT Sport would have been announced ages ago

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

If you are that sure you are right and I am wrong then there is nothing more I can say or is worth saying. Even if the subject and my knowledge of it has kept me employed for the last 35 years.

Never know maybe VM will take the moral ground rather than the legal one.

Any one know if the 4 "test" channels are still testing?
