BT Sports are rumours as Testing on Virgin Media right now - been testing over an week.
Channel 5 HD deal was signed the day before it was added on it launch day.
My own view is the BT Sports deal being signed is one big lie.

I also don't think its been signed BUT playing devils advocate what if an agreement was unofficially put in place where BT sports would launch on virgin media on Friday giving BT maximum amount of time to try and get new subscribers over.
virgin agreed to it as they got a good deal for the channel at a good price. BT agreed and started an aggressive advertisement campaign stating it wasn't coming to virgin media to get subscribers to its new service.
they haven't announced it to the stock markets as it hasn't officially been signed its all wink wink hush hush lol lol sort of thing.
I don't think this will happen but it would match up with some of the random rumours which have been started and I refer to the legendary BomberAF (RIP) when I say this.
If I was BT sport and had made this secret deal i'd leave it to the last possible day before the premier league started to get the panicking football nuts to leave VM for BT
Just a theory. And i'm still very pessimistic about it launching.
