I said I didn't want it. So, FWIW, here's what I think now it's here -
Firstly I think a Virgin have done well to get this deal, but they've now confirmed a precedent. It will be interesting to see what happens in three years time. Personally I think Virgin have taken the easy way out now but are storing up future problems. That said I also think they've effectively killed off Bt vision as far as I'm concerned;
Secondly, the channels themselves. The shows I've seen so far have been amateurish, and I've long said that I believe their Premier League rights to be second rate. I haven't changed my opinion just because I've now got the channels. I will, however, be watching the first match tomorrow and I'm looking forward to seeing how they do.
What is a plus, for me, is ESPN, which is essentially ESPN America, in hd.
