Also I have been in contact with sports media people over twitter and a couple are certain they will launch in the UK as they now have offices based in london.

Well there was a rumour that BeIn Sports were 'the other bidder' when the last PL rights were up for grabs. The only way they would launch here is if they got the rights to some decent sports, Sky and BT have those tied up for a few years yet. Sky have most of the streaming rights for this country as well.
I can't see it happening TBH, i just think the sports rights in this country are just to expensive for a 3rd player to come in.
