Bet they charge for Champions League Sam....

All it says is

The new Sky Sports channel portfolio will realign to the following EPG numbers on 12 August 2014:

No word yet whether they'll be the HD or SD channels

If you have HD, that is the numbers. If you have SD, that is the numbers.
I thought the EPG adjusts, depending on whether you have HD. Mine do

Tv Mags do not have different numbers for Sky dishes for HD as opposed to SD... must be the same.

It will be:

-Sky Sports News HQ HD on Sky Channel 401 with Sky Sports News HQ on an higher channel number on Sky+ HD boxes.

-Sky Sports News HQ on Sky Channel 401 with Sky Sports News HQ HD on an higher channel number on non Sky+ HD boxes.

The thing is though VM will be charging £29.75 for sky sports when the increase arrives where as Sky will be charging £24.50 I know VM need to make a profit ect but the time will come when people end up ditching the SS add-on

Will be interesting to see if TalkTalk up the price as they already charge £30 a month for all the channels

Yes I agree because they (BT) will need to recoup the money they paid out to secure the champions league rights. How that will work out on Virgin I don`t know,close ESPN and re-open it as BT Sports 2,and charge a separate fee to virgin,leaving BT Sport 1 as part of the xl package?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Just browsing through the TalkTalk YouView TV guide and it shows BT Sport 1, 2 + HD along with ESPN + HD however I thought TT didn't have the BT Sport channels?

The other thing Virgin might do is to do a deal for the CL and then increase the price of the XL pack thus it is available to many more customers.

I thought it was a join venture between the following

BT Group
TalkTalk Group
Arqiva
BBC
ITV
Channel 4
Channel 5

Here it states

Currently, BT Sport 1 and 2 are not available to view on YouView from TalkTalk. However YouView from TalkTalk is still the only place on YouView to see 6 Sky Sports channels, including Sky Sports F1.

However the TV guide on the TT website says they have it
