Could be worse, could be a TWC viewer in the US not being able to watch CBS, that'd be like all the VM viewers losing ITV!

Sorry if I did anything untoward. Although suspect I would have been hit first had I done so.

Anyway, back on topic. Looking forward to seeing what happens with regards to new channels. Relative called retentions today and she was told that BT would be launching in time for the new season. Whether that was to keep her or not I don't know. But the more Virgin say it is on the way, the more optimistic we have to be really.

@BTCare: @Howardmicks issue so its not a case of withholding it, I would advise putting your concerns to your provider to get it resolved.

Just replied to that tweet, im not quite sure how them complaining to Ofcom is not their issue...

LOL!

The VM forums are stating that VM have agreed a deal with BT to carry BT Sports, but it won't be on the XL package. The delay is because they are trying to get the best deal for their customers.

They better pull the trigger sooner rather than later.

But the caveat being if its true and thus not being just another bit of bull baloney.

As far as I am aware, it will be a standalone package like on Sky.

Very true mate, but that just shows the information touted before was wrong. Hopefully, this info has some weight to it, as it is shocking VM haven't come out to clear the situation up.

The trouble is Virgin have never been very good at communicating.
