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

At least the person who writes the channel guide has a sense of humour - I missed this as on Tivo but my friend posted this picture from V+ last night!

Gavin-D,

Personally I think BT would not get as much money through individual sales than they would through a package deal. They would certainly get less viewers, which means less ad revenue. I doubt there's many who'd sign up for 12 months at £12p/m and if people could sign on a monthly basis they'd probably only do it for the games they wanted to watch then cancel.

This is where i get frustrated!

I still believe we will get BT Sport before the PL starts but a very important date has passed and there is silence from VM about the issue.

99% of the time they are a pretty good all round company as far as customer service is concerned but this lets them down massively!

Apart from this is guess!

Well, it turns out that I can't get BT where I live.... No fibre optic cable!!!! So, I have to go VM or Sky, and the best BB speed Sky can offer is an estimated 2.5-4.9..... Might as well go back to dial up!!! Looks like I'm stuck on VM then..... Gutted

Looking at Virgin's Facebook page this morning, almost every post is customers complaining about BT Sport/ESPN, and the same copy and paste message in response. Working on that today must be hell :D

You'd have thought VM would have had a backup plan if they didn't get BT Sport, but since nothing new has launched they obviously didn't.

No news on UPC adding BT Sport, although on their website under premium channels the Setanta pack has disappeared since yesterday.

Calm down my young padawan , all good things come to those who wait ;)

This thread has gone beyond ridiculous. Only yesterday and after 11 hours today there have been over 50 pages of nothing besides what's NOT coming soon. God knows how many there will be at the end of the day.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 20:41.
