I do not recall any prem league games which have KO same time on different SS channels this season apart this Sunday.
Its a one off and Sky will continue to show premium sport on SS 1&2 hence why they are classed as premium channels both by Sky,VM and Ofcom.
Remember Sky or VM customers who pay for the Sky Sport 1&2 package get 3&4 included at no extra cost.

Note this does not mean when we get SS HD1&2 we will automatically get 3&4 - the priority has to be getting 1&2, then 3&4 will follow down the line.
But my prediction is that VM will sign up to the full Sky Sport HD package same as they do with the SD SS Package.

Sky Sports has shown two games live on the final day of every season since 1992 with one being shown on Sky Sports 1 and the other being shown on Sky1 (before 1995) Sky Sports 2/3/4 (After 1995).
