FOX looking to launch Sports channel in UK according to a rumour source, it will mostly show Australian football, Argentina football, Brazil football amongst other things such as motorcross and Daytona.
This is just a rumour but i hope it does come.

Don't Premier Sports show them right now?

Maybe FOX is set to takeover Setanta Sports Ireland and Premier Sports?

I would severely doubt that , most of the rights to those are with other UK broadcasters and how much interest would a channel like that have ? Very little in my opinion.

Please someone xplain on this forum.

VM are driving me nuts over new sports channels on VM. I was advised by VM that ALL sports channels would be in HD, and FREE as part of package. Which l have.

The Philipines office said l have to pay for HD channels, even though we are supposed to get them free.

Still not had a reply despite email sent on 20th July. Get a letter today regarding changes to SS subs. Says all SS channels free in packgae.

Yet again on to CS. they tell me that l have to have a Tivo HD (which l have) and that sports channels are free.

There is nothing in the letter that says l have to pay for HD channels ie sports.

VM are driving me nuts, and the CS in Philipines in totally disgraceful - do VM care -NO.

It is possible there is crossed wires here on both sides. Arthur tells them he has the Sports package, to which CS assume he also has the HD sub. So in essence, it is true that the HD channels would be free, as they are assuming he already has the HD sub.

Arthur, we need both Sky Sports and the HD sub to get the new HD channels at no extra cost
