I'd rather they ended the tension and announced it now though rather than put us through all of this...

I thought it was said that it would be announced a week before by our insider... ? That's today isnt it?

Yes SS 1,2,3,4, F1 and News in HD. And how can they offer a discount when they don't sell it?

The 4 tester channels will be BT1, 2 and HD. There will be 2 other streams freed on the 1st August as according to EPG, ESPN America and Classic to close, so it works out

Test1 = Sky Atlantic. (Probably)
Test2 = Sky Atlantic HD (probably)
Test3 = BT Sport 1/2 HD
Test4 = BT Sport 1/2 HD
ESPN A = BT Sport 1/2 SD
ESPN C = BT Sport 1/2 SD

Virgin Media has confirmed the following about ESPN America and ESPN Classic after July 31st:

Quote:

Q: WHAT HAPPENS TO RECORDINGS I'VE MADE FROM THE ESPN CHANNELS AFTER JULY 31ST?
A: Anything you’ve recorded from ESPN, ESPN HD, ESPN America and ESPN Classic will be there to enjoy until 1 November 2013. After that, they’ll disappear.
So Virgin will not reuse ESPN America and ESPN Classic Channels streams until sometime after November 1st.

I'm starting to think the Bomber guy, or whatever his name is, could possibly be talking out of a hole in his anatomy, and not necessarily his mouth, but we all live in hope i guess!.....:nutter:

This is why I never believe anything until its officially confirmed from Virgin Media

There is still 6 days to go until the ESPN channels will broadcast for the final time before BT takes them over so anything could happen by then but know VM they'll leave it extremely late and remember as well the premier league doesn't kick off until August 17th this year so they could even leave it till week commencing the 12th which is another 18 days away yet

I had many erotic dreams of bomber after the brilliant news he gave... but yes he possibly could have got me all worked up for nothing :erm:
