The rumour on DS Forums was BT Sport would cost those who took Sky Sports £14.99 and £24.99 for those who don't sub to Sky Sports if true I'd like to think that includes HD and Multiscreen.

You'd think so, eh? I hope you're right, for their sakes. Everyone needs HD and multiscreen these days (apart from the Mr K's of this world)! :D

No offence, Mr K!:sorry:

£24.99 for those who don't subscribe to SKY Sports doesn't sound right. I know it's just a rumour but pricing it cheaper than SKY Sports doesn't make good business sense. Why sell your rivals product cheaper than your own on your own platform?

I’d guess that if you are Sky to the “non-Sky Sports subscriber” at that price it’s high enough most would opt for the usually discounted Sky Sports.

Don't shoot the messenger , as I said someone posted it on DS Forum the truth is we'll just have to wait for an official press release.

It is currently £30 to subscribe to BT Sport in HD on Sky - so £5 cheaper could be correct which £15 off for Sky Sport subscribers.

That statement makes sense if they were the same product but Sky Sports has a far larger budget and more content so you would expect it to cost more. That being said, Sky is currently offering Sky Sports with HD to customers for £23pm so that would undercut the suggested £25pm price for BT Sport.

I'd guess at those price points it'd be far more likely a subscriber Sky Sports or takes both (at £38 I'm guessing on offer) than pays £25 for BT alone.

Not if you want to watch Moto GP and have no interest in football, circket and golf

That’s why I said “most” and not “all”, there will always be a narrow set of exceptions.

I can't tell what this is, maybe a disguised new service rather than a move within the network, but there are new HD streams on multiplex/stream alongside Premier Sports 2 HD now.

One is an HD stream and the screengrab has a VM Love logo from its promo reel.
The other is an HD stream with a Sky Cinema logo on its screengrab.

Showing on Tsid13/C047 on Digital Bit Rate website.
