HD football has been asked for more than any other content on these forums, IMO, next to Sky 1 HD. Now VM have both, along with other must-haves like the red button. With ESPN HD only having 23 EPL games for 3 seasons from the start of next season, this deal is good timing.

A crap deal? That's speculation.

Virgin will now have 29 HD channels and have wiped out the UPS of their main competitor, in exchange for the sale of channels which I personally, haven't watched that much for eons now.
