Not much more compared to ESPN. The quality of matches on BT should be better too, making the current BT price better value than ESPN or Setanta.
If you wanna pay less, set up a social networking group to get a large number of disgruntled fans together so you can all cancel Sky Sports en masse for two or three months at the start of the season. That will bring the price down very quickly.
I think bt will make a success of its sports, but it is gonna take a long while for them to really force Sky to drop prices.
The power to have prices is in your hands, if you simply can't bear to miss any football matches then you are gonna have to continue to pay through the nose for it!!!

Round at the girlfriends who has Sky. There are place holders on channels 413 and 414 for BT Sports. Looks like they're ready!

True. Though what I meant was before Setanta came about we were paying less. As more and more bidding wars came about we started paying more and more to cover it.

Like I said before Sky were making losses for many many years, they had planned for it, I'm sure BT are planning the same, in it for the long term and have the money like Sky did to take the losses for some time.

Big difference now is that next time they both bid the price paid will have to be massive and who will lose out - us!

I'm sure the percentage of TUTV subscribers will be quite small but still, it's a bit naff for those who just want freeview with sport

That's called inflation and you know it. Everyone's prices go up.
If you were a Sky customer and you were paying £10 a month for ESPN. Plus whatever for bb, you can now move that BB to BT and get a much better equivalent to ESPN for free.

How is that more?

Main problem for me is having to swap VM Broadband for BT who I simply do not trust...

Better the devil you know then the devil you don't know as once bitten twice shy.

To be honest we don't know yet if VM will get BT Sports or not...

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 
I don't know if I have understood this correctly but in the Mail there is a piece about BT going to Ofcom as Sky won't agree to a carriage deal to allow Sky Sports 1 and 2 on You View. Does this mean Sky Sports is not on You View as I assumed it was.

Sky are apparently blocking this as BT will not allow Sky to sell direct via You View as BT are doing through Sky.

All getting a bit messy this, hopefully VM will come out with something that is easy to understand.

Soon I hope as getting BT Sports or not will sway me to change to Sky or stay with VM

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 
Just been watching BT Sport 1 to see if any other info and once you have BT Sport you can watch it on the go via the BT Sport app and have it on as many devices as you want with 2 streaming at the same time. There seemed to be no hint of it coming to VM thou but surely all they need to do is do the same as Sky customers and need the card number and go through same process. If it is going to be on VM i cant see it being free, i see it being same cost as Sky customers
