Three home improvement channels were on for a while but they quickly closed. Nobody was watching them apparently:angel:

Rumour: BT Sports Channels testing on Virgin Media???

Quote:
The ironic thing is that BT Sport 1 and 2 ARE available on cable, right now, they are known as TEST A, B, C and D (A and B are the SD versions and C and D are the HD versions)..

Their SIDs are 2c3, 2c8, eda and f3d (just in case someone thinks I'm...)

The fact the services ARE present on the stream (in both SD and HD) surely must mean you guys will get access to them very shortly...All they have to do is sign the contract and add the services to your EPG [& probably charge more].

Wasn't NASN/ESPN America a standalone channel for a time? I wonder why they don't offer it this way again as opposed to closing it?

Yes and VM appear to be taking advantage of that niche market by adding more 3D :)

Much better than the cinema as well. Everyone who has seen it has been impressed. I think it's more a case of the industry expected it to move alot quicker than it has but people don't have alot of money to throw around and TV's are not a priority in hard times.
You have a point there, actually a lot of people seem to buy a replacement TV for the sake of it within much shorter timescales than 6 years. There again I remember the days when people had a TV and kept it until it was no longer serviceable.

Many see 17 August as a more important date than the actual launch date.

But greedy BT Sport the station which took Sky Sports to court over access to sky sports 1 and 2 is now refusing to cut a reasonable deal with virgin media to claw someone of their money back. Not virgin medias fault they vastly and greedily paid too much to pump more money into a second rate league of untalented prima donnas

Well the day of reckoning is moving closer with every day and lets hope Virgin heed the calling calls of quite a few of their customers.

Not if you are a Liverpool supporter as they are on there several times before that date.

Isn't this just some randomers comments on an article? I don't see it as proof, the channels testing have no way of being identified as BT Sport

And many more couldn't give a stuff about the football season and want the channels for other sports content.

Rumour some weeks back on Digital Spy did say that Virgin was testing 4 channels called 'A' to 'D' but I forgot to say 'Rumour' before that headline.

Beats me why anyone can complain about info here.

Only place you will get official info is Virgin Media.

More fool you if you take it from any other source.

As much as i like Den and his optimism, he also thinks Liverpool will win the league. that alone would make me doubt him (though not allowed to ask him to take a drug test).

Life too short to worry, if it comes, it comes (insert whatever you want for "it". :D)
