Just my personal opinion,I think BT Sport will be made available to Virgin customers because 1) BT will want to get as many people as possible watching their new sports channels and 2) Virgin wont want to loose any customers who may well otherwise defect to either Sky or BT.
Incidently I`ve noticed BT sports is listed on the Freeview EPG so presumedly it will be available some how on that platform? Is Top Up Tv a sepperate company to Freeview? I`m only guessing but as BT want complete control of managing sles of the channels to get it on freeview you will have to buy a viewing card from BT as you did when Getting Setanta on your freeview box. Does anyone know about this at all?
