None will make up for it if you're a football fan. I don't understand the logic that people will be happy to have Sky Atlantic instead of BT Sport. Football fans can't watch 38 live Premier League games on Sky Atlantic, it would be no substitute whatsoever. Not everyone is into these american "entertainment" shows anyway, I couldn't care less. I want all the sport, and I want it in HD.

I am lucky as I will be getting it anyway, I have an unwanted Sky contract running out on friday and that will turn into a freesat box but it's up here in my room. Would much rather simply upgrade the Virgin setup to VIP and get the benefit of that inccreased internet, movies and free 0845 numbers etc, a VM box up here and BT Sport appearing on both boxes rather than just one. This is a key benefit of it being on VM, should it happen. Surprised more people aren't mentioning it, it's a distinct advantage over Sky (once it happens).

Patience is also a state of endurance.

It seems BT are still posting adverts through doors with the headline "Lots of ways to watch it . One way to get it - BT."

Sky Atlantic is still be advertised as Exclusive to Sky all over sky.com and during nearly all ad breaks it displays the Sky Atlantic logo with 'Only on Sky' below it.

Make of this what you will , I appreciate things could change.

Might be worth slumming it for 12 months then Virgin will offer me the earth to come back as a new customer in 12 months.

I agree if only I could get skys superfast BB I would be taking that offer too.

But they would do this anyway till things are announced methinks.

Funnily enough, in the last week or so any ads on tv for Sky Atlantic programmes have dropped the "only / exclusive on Sky" statement...

It isn't the football I am most interested in about BT sport as I am a fan of UFC. So I am really hoping that VM pulls this out off the bag and signs BT.

Also so much for the 18 top picks on the football, I don't think I have seen 5 out the list shown.
