The "force" comment from me was meant to be VM onto BT to at least have neutral status on what is incuded in an agreement with BT on this new channel, since without that, consumers are "forced" to subscribe to BT to gain all features of the channel. Apologies if missleading. Nobody is forcing consumers to subscribe to a channel except Sky (in the case of HD) and maybe BT now IF you want all the features with that channel.

Sorry to harp on .As I have stated before I can not understand why anyone should think that a company ( in this case BT) having paid out for a product
( EPL) Should be
made to offer it to the competition.
Whom then by the very nature of that offer,will :-
a) undermine the push to draw customers to them
b) Pick up the "service" on the cheap . BT pay X. Virgin pay X-Y
If they wish to off set some of the costs fine but make no sorry.
Clearly Virgin had a choice about EPL and choose not( or in fact choose too) to exercise it, by not buying the rights.
I hope it works out well for all you footie fans and you have not got to make an expense ( Or painful )choice
