The same thing happened last year with ESPNHD, $KY announced the carriage deal but VM stayed silent until they suddenly trumped $KY by saying they have secured the deal to offer it free to XL. It could be that VM are working for the same thing.

I contacted ESPN by email some time ago who replied saying they were in talks with Virgin but talks hadnt progressed far enough to make an announcement.

Well i would imagine sky sports hd would arrive around july/beginning of august time so i would guess others will follow suit but i prob completely wrong.

Sky, Virgin Media and BT are all appealing the judgement and a case hearing at the Competition Appeal Tribunal will take place next Friday (25 June).
