Well, VM may or may not get a deal. However, if they don't, they may still give XL viewers a reduced price. They did it free for ESPN, so they can do something similar with BT Sports, although it won't be free.

Am I not right in saying that Sky viewers only have the option of getting BT Sports free via their computer, but not through their Sky box? If so, a reduced price for VM would be a good incentive for Sky viewers to get Virgin Media, to see it with their TIVO boxes.

For the reason given in my post above, you may be jumping ship too early. Why the hurry?

Because they are trying to get you the best deal possible. Would you prefer them to get in quick and pay over the top?

Please be patient Arthur, it's only June!
