Cable Forum - General ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Think you jumped ahead a bit there MB, the link doesn't necessarily have anything to do with VM - just that BT's BB customers won't be paying. Puts pressure on VM (and Sky) I would think.

I believe BT are playing the long game and we won't see the results of their move into TV & sport until 2018-2020 when BT's GFast technology becomes widely available. That's when VM should worry.

Best news is there was no mention of Andy Townsend.

First game on BT Sport Ultra HD will be Chelsea v Arsenal in the Community Shield on August 2nd

I hate to think what the new set top box will cost will be surprised if its under £150

Quite shocked they are still going to offer BT Sports for free to Infinity customers. I hope they come to an agreement with VM, but I'm sure a price hike will on the horizon at the very least.

On a side note, it's good to see 4K is about to take off in the UK.

Good so with luck VM will get the channel now is a case of whether it will cost extra!

Not sure what happens to existing customers who are already on contracts - I suppose BT have to pay for their increased sports coverage somehow though.

EDIT: I think most of this was in the BT Sports Press release above, so sorry for repeating.
