I'd be made up with that! I used to always forget to watch espn in hd so I wouldn't be that bothered by missing out on hd

I think it goes back to greedy BT sports not wanting any provider to offer it free and insisting on making people pay additional for it

In other countries they still try to protect sports rights and tv companies milking it quite as obvious as BT are doing

Would you pay sticker price just because you need a car though? I am just commenting on the possible outcome of negotiations and what would represent a good deal.

Agree with you, and hope I'm wrong but think we'll have to pay.

More info on Sky Bravo.

I have been told over the weekend that Sky Bravo may also show 'fitness programming.'

Also Sky did think of using the name 'Sky Turbo' before register Sky Bravo.

Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki
Well she was sellin' pineapple, playin' ukulele
And when I went to the girl, come on and teach me to sway
She laughed and whispered to me, yes come tonight to the bay

The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singin' this song

Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

And down on the shore they gather romance
She showed me much more, not only to dance...

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody

The lovely beach, in the sky the moon of Kauai
Around calypso sarong we'll all be singin' this song

Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to

Yes, something along those lines, I would have thought.

Blimey, Dave, do I detect an element of optimism there? Will a belief in Sky Atlantic coming be your second wind.....? ;)

Can VM test channels without anyone knowing? Does anyone with inside knowledge know?

If they can do this, we don't need to be concerned that only 4 channels appear to be testing at the moment.

If the choice were that or not getting it all, what would you prefer? As a customer you at least then have free choice between all three platforms, and can do the sums according to what meets your needs.

Not having any particular interest in PL football, I don't see subsidising this out of XL subs beyond the level of ESPN as being any sort of priority when there are still other things missing from the package. If BT started showing other sports we were interested in, maybe we might choose to pay.

It is important for the VM platform that customers have as full as possible a choice of content - that doesn't mean everybody has to subsidise providing premium content 'free', however slick a marketing ploy this might seem to be.

Well said.
