The guy i spoke to in retentions just now said there will be an announcement by VM in about a week's time, the delay (as speculated) is so as to get the best deal and the channels included in the XL pack.

I said many people I know would be prepared to pay an additional subscription for the channels but does he mean that if VM don't get a better price they won't pick up the channels?

He said he did not know but whatever happens there will be an announcement by VM before the Premier league starts.

I said I'd see what Sky offer me and I'll either jump ship or at the least downgrade my XL TV package and wait to hear what happens.
