Aye sky sports HD will be good. but i genuinely do not know why people would pay extra for the HD sky sports then sky sports is already so blooming expensive. for 25 quid we should get a hug off rupert murdoch as well as sky sports in HD. A lot of you are in VIP and get it for free though which is fair enough. i should really look into VIP since i'm on XL for everything bar phone so would only be a few more quid i'd imagine??

Does MB know how long the BT sport contract is with virgin media? it surely wont continue in XL after it ends due to champions league rights?

I don't think Easter can ever fall into May.

I presume you mean 'the first Tuesday in May'.

By my reckoning Den ,

BT Sport joined VM XL TV in August 2013 on a 3 yr deal so the deal should expire August 2016.

The champions league on BT will start September 2015 with the final at the end of May 16 so the first season will be covered who knows after that.

Perhaps the first season might be covered MM but don't put your money on it as we don't know the finite details of their contract as there might be certain clauses in there for all we know.

Very true for instance we could see the launch of a new channel for champions league and Europa league games , its the same for those of us getting it with BT Broadband/Infinity I'm sure at some point a price will be introduced.
