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.[COLOR="Silver"]
Not sure about the Sky part, but surely they would have announced a deal for XL viewers (and by default everyone else) by now if that was the case? I cannot imagine BT would worry where the money for the channels comes from, as long as they get the full amount of money they are asking for.
I personally think the ESPN money has been put into the recent channel arrivals, and won't be used for BT Sports. I hope to be proved wrong though for those who want it though.

If you have a satellite receiver box and viewing card, you can easily take BT Sport from us. You don't need to be a BT customer - but if you have our broadband, it's free. And it's only available direct from BT. Order now for free HD for a year.

And as I say, 413 and 414 are the HD channels on sky...showing commercials for BT sport now..until 1 August
When they close down and inform you that you can only watch it through your computer Just kidding OLDBOY. Thinking on from my previous post, the Sky website may mean that you can watch the channels as part of the Sky Go offering as well as through the box
