There is no guarantee that BT Sports will appear from launch as yet. Think of it like the purchase of new technology, it's often cheaper to buy a time after the launch of a product. Those who buy it straight away pay a premium. The first important game on BT Sports is on 17 August...

Channels that are testing off the EPG can be detected by using an unauthorised box or a TV that can accept cable transmissions direct. Only the FTA channels will actually be viewable.

As a shareholder of BT, I concur with the view of VM that broadband is more profitable than the pay TV market.
Pay TV is basically used as a sweetener or convenience factor for the customer.
