BT could be a major rival to sky and VM in the TV stakes, if they get more channels, there a long way behind Sky and VM though.
It's a shame VM couldn't of launched a sports channel like BT have.. |

So if your a Sky customer and have BT infinity or BB you get BT sport free?
|
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
I see a mass exodus from VM coming tomorrow if nothing happens in regards to the BT Sports channels by 10am !!!
Personally unless BT Sports also took the DTM and NASCAR rights as well (I think they will go back up for auction) not having them makes no difference to me. |

Puts to bed the theory that BT have no first picks. The merseyside derby was a first pick. Wonder what is gonna happen at midnight? Have to say this is exciting. I think i would be FAR more gutted if I didn't have my sky freesat setup. 'kin lifesaver! |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
Just retuned my freeview (been a while) to find 3 new channels of interest:-
Ch 57. BT Sport (An info channel I imagine) Ch 58. BT Sport 1 Ch 59. BT Sport 2 as well as still listing ESPN on Ch 34. Will be drama if these are available to subscribe too freeview but not VM! :shocked: |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.

I consider myself a die hard footy fan but At the moment I can't see myself jumping ship for BT Sports. I'd prob buy it if it was on VM but prob won't leave if it isn't. I've seen the games and on the balance I don't think it's worth the hassle!

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

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
I hope any new channels added will not require a reboot of boxes between 1 and 3 in the morning. Am recording a programme for a friend who will be cross if it gets spoilt by new channels.
Saying that, I am looking forward to seeing what channels do launch tomorrow, if any do after all this. I wouldn't want to be in retentions tomorrow for Virgin. It was busy enough today, 30 minutes on hold to Virgin to pay for the line rental up front. Apparently their phone systems had been clogged all day. |

The SS offer sounds good if true, but another coming soon delay for BT Sports. I think it might be too late by then.
