BT Sport disappeared from TV Go
 

If this is correct, it could be problematic for sports fans:

Re: VM & BT Sport in dispute?
 

It’s clearly wrong. The staff on the Community say it’s a technical issue.

It’d be stupid to launch a package and advertise it as

If they know BT will go imminently. The first thing you’ll have is everyone onto retentions.

The last people to know key information like this would be call centre staff.

Working fine on my app.

And the two accounts I have access to!

Re: VM & BT Sport in dispute?
 

People have been reporting this for three weeks, so it seems unlikely to be related to the new packages.

I'll see if I can find a fault ticket for it.

edit: OK, found one. P009324795. It's under investigation. Perhaps the thread title could be updated?

Interesting given that Sky are set to announce that BT Sport will be free for all Sky Sports customers with the full Sports line up package.

Re: BT Sport disappeared from TV Go
 

Where have they said that? They did say you will be able to add BT Sport to your Sky subscription.

I think it was part of the deal that got the Now TV app on BT so they'd get Sky Atlantic.

It’s not interesting. It’s a fault.

Re: BT Sport disappeared from TV Go
 

I spoke to a retention manager over the weekend who advised me that this July BT Sport would be free to all Sky customers who have all the Sky Sports Channels as I was going to take all my services to BT. I asked him if he was sure and it was not a tactic to trick me into staying with Sky. However he was certain that this will be the case.

Re: BT Sport disappeared from TV Go
 

Sounds like a tactic to trick you into staying with Sky ;)

It may be for those with the full Sky package inc. Sports.

Re: BT Sport disappeared from TV Go
 

I’m not even sure that will be the case, my best guess would be a subsidised add on for Sports subscribers. BT are still in the sports rights market to the tune of over £650m a year - that’s a fair chunk of cash for Sky/Virgin to cover (assuming they’d sell virtually no standalone subscriptions at £30 a month if bundled with both Sky and Virgin top packages).

Re: BT Sport disappeared from TV Go
 

It might be that BT Sport will only be free for the month of July for those that have all the Sky Sports Channels as an enticement to get people to order BT Sport for the new football season?

Re: BT Sport disappeared from TV Go
 

BT Sport channels ars 'free' with the Full House package on Virgin Media, so I wouldn't be surprised if Sky came up with something similar.
