I don't watch sports so makes no difference to me. Who is making this a Sky vs VM thing? Oh you are!

Didn't Bomber say a deal was already done and starting on August 1st? Didn't we have after the 1st executives from BT and Virgin say there was no deal yet?

Nuff said

You're right, of course - testing still needs to be done in case a deal suddenly materialises, and then they're good to go. But, as has been said, this surely doesn't need to be done on a live website???

Whatever happens, BomberAF was wrong. He may well have posted in good faith - I firmly believe that he did - but the information was incorrect.

He may well be aware of what's happening but he is 'embargoed'. It must be getting clear now to all but the most hardened doomsayers that BT Sport is almost here now. You'll all be able to watch Liverpool versus Stoke after all (unless there's an outage, of course!)

but how much will we have to pay extra, or is it going into the XL

Interesting. Only saw an ad on TV for BT Sports saying ESPN is no longer on Virgin Media.

Indeed and alas we will know very soon and my hunch is it will be either on XL or the VIP package or perhaps both.

Well, that's the bit that we are all waiting to hear about. However, my best guess is that it will be in XL. If that is the case, then it's an excellent deal for VM viewers
and those who jumped ship early will be wishing they were a little more patient.
