That will be a nice short term souvenir that people can keep.

Indeed a complete lack of imagination from whoever designed it.

Meh. Recognisably Bt, and tells you what it is. I'm not sure you need to be that imaginative when you have such a strong brand.

Premier Sports launch a new online service:

http://www.premierplayer.tv/

"The Premier Player is a high quality simulcast of the Premier Sports television channel. It also features a massive archive of Catch-Up and On Demand services. The service is available across multiple devices including smartphones and tablets. The cost of the service is £9.99 per month on a monthly recurring charge - this will give you access to the live stream as well as Catch-Up content recorded in the last 7 days.

We also offer a Premium membership option at £11.99 per month on a monthly recurring charge. This will allow you go back and view all events shown since the start of each sports respective season. Please note that the archive is only available from the date the Player launched on 18th April 2013."

I'll test this later on my Smart TV to see if it works. It looks like people without SKY will finally have access to Premier Sports accross a variety of platforms.

I wonder if Premier Sports and Virgin could do something by way of a TiVo app for this service?

They could, but Premier Sports will have folded by the time Virgin actually get around to making it.

I can confirm that the Premier Sports player works on my LG Smart TV. I can also access it via my LG Smart Blu-Ray player.

A great way for people to access the channel without having to go via SKY. Sure you can't record the programmes however for £11.99 per month you get access to all televised events on demand. This will be great for hockey and NASCAR fans.

Well there is no HD option however I'd have to say around 7 out of 10. Put it this way, there is channels broadcasting on SKY with worse picture quality!

If I get rid of ESPN as an add on now, what are the implications?

I am a M+ tv customer. They're not likely to say at the end of this season "all current ESPN subscribers have access to BT sport" or something are they?

I doubt it, but until BT and Sky sort out the mess they are in, I don't think VM will announce anything

Well they better sort it out soon as customers want to make decisions now and not just before the start of the season.

Join Sky. Plain and simple.

Not renewing our virgin contract which is £113.99 at the moment. Which is £6 more than the same package (minus ESPN) with Sky and that includes all HD channels.

When ESPN goes, Virgin will be very expensive, and there's no way BT will be cheap.
