That is true, but we won't see the results for quite some time.

Well they very likely reopened the sky basics deal, it seems that may be giving us results in the next 10 days...

Delighted to see these rumours and hope they are true. I have my own Sky setup in my bedroom (long story) which is out of contract on the 26th Aug, so I am cancelling on the 26th Jul. I am upgrading our family virgin setup (tv, bb, phone) in order to get the sports and a box in my room etc. Makes it so much easier if they just bung it in the VIP pack, because then I can just ring up virgin and say "upgrade me to VIP please" and it'll take about 2 minutes. If BT Sport goes separate I will have to fanny around with the package options and lose out on loads of channels/bb/phone bonuses to get a manageable price and it'll take about half an hour on the phone and be really confusing.

me, my mum and brother split the bill so I can simply pay £75 a month and they pay £20 each, and have the whole VIP pack because what we've got now is totally inadequate for what we need and the router is rubbish so we could use the new one, and a TIVO box in the front room (i'll miss my Sky+ HD Box in my bedroom mind...). I would have had to get BT Sport through sky if worst came to worst but looks 99% like that won't be necessary.

also don't agree at all with people saying Sky Atlantic would be a fair substitute for BT Sport. I want those 38 premier league games I am football mad. I want all the sport and I want it in HD. A few cliched american dramas isn't the equivalent of 38 Live premier league games if you're a supporter. I have Atlantic now and never watch it. My team is first up on BT so hoping hey don't take ages to get the installer round.
