been away a couple of days and have found ESPN and BT Sports (in HD!!) on my telly.
fantastic.
we had to wait a while but VM have come up trumps getting it in the XL pack. It pays to be patient- i wonder how many had jumped to Sky/BT .I am a sports fan and this was the absolute best case scenario for me
Many of us thought we would end up paying £10 to £15 for BT/ESPN
Getting 3 channels in HD is better than the old deal of ESPN HD ESPN America SD and ESPN Classic SD.
Theres still talk that we may well get Sky Atlantic in the not too distant future, HD versions of Sky News and Sky Sports News, F1 as well as maybe Universal and the like, even Netflix on TIVO
Should this happen then VM would have virtually everything Sky has (sports 3 & 4 HD not withstanding). Why would you feel the need to move.Certainly BT visions offering and lack of Sky content puts them well down in 3rd place in the Pay Tv market.
Now its quite likley VM will announce a price increase soon-tbh if we do even get a couple more new channels as above i probably wouldnt begrudge a small increase of say a couple of quid a month as the additions over the last 6 months or so (more HD) would probalby still be worth it imo. (non sports fans may disagree)
