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

Denphone, I have many pages to trawl through, but I am disappointed by one normally so positive:bigcry: Things do indeed look bleak, but chin up good sir!!! You are a beacon of positivity, long may it continue (currently I am about 7 hours out of the loop) I humbly apologize if I have stolen anyone elses thunder or if VM have announced something. Chin up y'all!!!!

It is a shame that VM didnt get channels as more people can get the channels even at extra cost. Amybe BT think they can rival VM as number 2 TV provider. Do people think that BT are in the sports game for the long term just like Sky is. Sky Sports is over 20 years old, will BT Sport get that milestone? P.S. Changed my details to show i have BT Sport and ESPN :D:D

Has not been given any update on the Virgin Media and BT Sports deal from any insiders.

When I do get any updates I will post it here or on 'Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.2' thread that will launch early next week on Cable Forum.

Not a VM insider, but investment houses have a view as well, they may well have intimate knowledge though and their view is very very positive and these people are gambling with lots of cash.

And that's why I say, everything comes to he who waits

Yeah because the people gambling with lots of cash have a terrific track record in the last half decade.

So would you place a bet based on speculation on here or based on what you hear from investment houses?

Still reckon everyone will be impressed in the coming days, far more certain than I was a few weeks ago

Well, I was in a good mood this morning - this thread always lifts my spirits, but the time has come to move on to another now.

I will say goodbye to all the "where is BT Sports" until an official announcement is made, - thanks for all the entertainment over the past few days.

(Oh, and goodbye young_timbo who will surely be banned for that outburst - if a lowly paid nurse had not been there, I would be dead by now) - in my opinion, footballers may be talented, but worth what they are paid ? - never.

I do hope we get the sports channel, even though I probably wont watch "that much of it, but equally, I hope we dont have an increase in our subs to pay for it !

Disappointing the way this thread is turning :( Can we not get back to complaining about being shafted by Virgin :). Someone also posted earlier that they were surprised to see Den post in a negative fashion about this weeks (non)events. He's an optimist but not a half wit, this affair has been a massive own goal by Virgin and to post in a positive fashion about it would be stretching credibility too far even for the most ardent fanboy of Virgin.
