Also these posts are a pain in the rear end to quote on a mobile.
Last Year BT pay an other broadcaster on Sky for they channel slots.
But BT has to reuse them within 30days or lose the channel slots on Sky so BT launch The Sailing channels just to tie them over until BT Sports launch later this year.

Be very careful what you wish for , my Youview box takes its feeds from the online app based catchup services , the PQ is dire and there's ad breaks all the way through.
I was thinking more along the lines of Netflix, where you pay a subscription and it's add free. As time goes on, more and more content will be available that way; hopefully the TV networks will eventually get on board. In the US, HULU plus is a step in the right direction, but I believe even that has a few adverts, even though it's around 8 dollars a month.

I agree. Hopefully they set their channel at an affordable price, available to as many people as possible.

Strange that there is no announcement on either the SKY or Virgin website / press offices. Also it seems the Guardian is the main source for this story. Is there anything official anywhere to clarify what has actually been agreed between both parties?
Doesn't mention sports 3&4 though does it.

Don't get what Bale and Chamberlain add to BT's coverage. They might not be available on Saturday's if they're playing Sunday's and therefore also not available Sunday's.

Other than monotonous drones what will they say? They can hardly criticise other teams which would bite them on the backside when they play them.

It doesn't however those 2 channels might already be tied down on an exsisting carriage deal. It could be the case that it was only ever the carriage deal for SKY Sports 1 & 2 that was set to expire.

The problem is until something is confirmed, in black and white, people don't really know for sure.

On another matter I'm beginning to get a very sneaky feeling BT Sports might turn up in a package on Virgin. Maybe not XL, like ESPN currently is, but possibly 'free' for VIP customers.

IF VM put the price up just for BT Sports to say £10.00 per month, you can rule me out, as the football will be less than Sky.

BUT if they put the price up say £6.00 with BT Sports and other channels, then l might consider it. BUT its not worth it on its own.

I watch Sky sports quite a lot for the football, but IF BT are only going toi ashow less then its not worth it.

They are going to add another 9 pundits and few in reserve and set up their own team?
