BT currently offers BT Sport free to VM XL customers or free to any customer taking its BB offering on either BT TV or the Sky Satellite platform

Can you realistically see no additional cost once the champions league contract kicks in ? I'm sure BT will look to increase revenue across all its viewers , I'm sure agreements will be reached but in my opinion people will be paying more.
I only meant that BT may not play the silly tricks that Sky are renowned for, like denying red button and HD facilities.

I don't 'hate' Sky, who have done wonders for British TV, I just don't like some of their underhand tactics.
