Its pretty much as I suspected they will carve the pay sports rights between them. IMO Offcom may well take an interest if they get to close, due to a lack of genuine competition.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

100 % agree however OFCOM are totally useless.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Maybe at the start but they are always able to refer the matter to the Competition Commission?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

And are they any better ?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Yes they are if you read the working papers and their initial findings on the pay tv movies, you may get a idea of them?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Yes the Competition Commission have real teeth.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Yes Ofcom do seem to be very weak when it comes to certain companies abusing their position.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Dosen't the Sky 3D channel showcase content from several broadcasters like Discovery?.

It would imagine it would be impractical for them all to have their own 3D channel at this early stage so ESPN showing a match dosen't seem all that odd to me.

It isn't as odd as Sky Sports News sometimes telling you when games are on ESPN but I tend to agree that Sky and ESPN appear to be on very good terms.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

You may be right , I watched a demo loop today from Sky 3D and there was nature and documentary footage included.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

I believe they are genuine competitors but with ESPN being very much the junior (in the UK at least) but they do seem to get on well. At least for now!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Yes Disney is officialy a bigger corporation than News Corp , however I feel as the UK is not ESPN's main market they will be happy with 2 of the 6 prem league packages.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

I have just gone on both SKY Arts HD channels, how much HD content do they actual try and show, at the moment both the channels are showing archive 4:3 old programming!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. II.
 

Unless the Culture Secretary stops it going there as in News Corp and Sky.
