I like my sports and was happy to get ESPN/ESPN America at no extra charge. I also subscribed to Sky Sports.

When it was announced BT Sports was taking over from ESPN i thought i hope VM get this. But times are getting tough and a couple of months ago i stopped my Sky Sports package to save a few ££.

I know its only the summer but you know what my world hasn't caved in. Life carries on.

All the uncertainty of will VM get BT sports or not has started to bore me now. Sky Sports prices are going up soon - if VM get Bt Sports it will cost more than before. i work out about £600 a year to get the Sports in HD (assuming BT sport does come to VM). Thats too much for me these days (i havent had a pay rise in 3 years) so unless VM do a 'deal' i wont be getting BT Sports even if it does arrive let alone Sky Sports. These days its a matter of priorities.

I wonder how many will subscribe to BT and Sky Sports. If you can afford -good on yer.

i have MLB.TV which i think represents good value for money for my baseball fix and for footy i shall make do with Match of the Day highlights (BBC) for the 'greed is king' 'not in the real world' premier league , FA Cup games (ITV), Champions League games(ITV), Europa League games (ITV), internationals and next years World Cup (BBC/ITV), Scottish football on BBC Scotland and Alba,goals on Sky Sports News, NFL (BBC/C4) as well as stuff on Eurosport- most in HD and all free.
