Firstly I'd only want HD and all the channels, i.e. BT Sports 1 & 2 and ESPN. However at £15 a month I'd be put off as it's just under half the price of Sky Sports (HD) with much much less than half the content I'd want to watch (Just 38 games, no championship, no cricket, no NFL and no US open tennis or men's ATP 1000 events and limited darts). If I was into rugby then I can imagine the attraction.

I'm hopeful that VM will at least do a deal where XL customers get it at a discount say £8 to £10 a month. Otherwise I'll get it for a month just to see what it's like then cancel.

Have to say that if VM add Sky Atlantic HD, and SSN HD and SN HD then I think the XL pack will be very good value compared to SKY and BT.

Keeping fingers and legs crossed, hopefully we will hear very soon
BT has other football, including french, german and itallian leagues. Plus europa cup and FA cup.

I think sky has the better tv package. No contest.
