i will continue to enjoy having Premier Sports while it is free.

I have enjoyed the NHL coverage but theres not that much else for me. Not bothered about Rugby League and most of the other stuff on there..perhaps some GAA. Overall not enough content for me to justify £8pm and from the reaction of many people on here most feel the same.

The picture quality, as some have said, is good for SD but these days you expect Sports & Movies to be available in HD.

i just dont think it represents good value when you compare it to Sky Sports or BT Sports portfolio.

Enjoy the freeview while we can i say.

I had been under the impression one of the main reasons it has taken so long for VM to carry Premier Sports was both parties had differing views on the value/cost of the channel and perhaps Premier Sports had over estimated its worth.

If subscription take up is poor i wonder if Premier Sports and VM will get together and put forward a new offer- perhaps a lower fee if it remains a standalone channel or maybe into some type of VM pack ? (XL ?/ Premier Collection?)

i presume Premier Sports would like as many viewers as possible to increase its advertising revenues and maybe VM would view the channel as providing more value to some of its tv packs if the price was right
