Why doesn't VM and Sky, just sit round a table and thrash this out.

But, at the end of the day ITS US THAT END UP PAYING FOR IT.
That's a bit of a stretch, to think that some Premier league games would transfer to Sky Sports Mix, which is just a showcase channel.

Sky Sports Mix might duplicate a premier league game but it won't be shown exclusively on that channel.

The interesting question would be will it be on nowtv because that would be a game changer; with the envisaged increase in prices, there is not a lot of difference between skysports via VM, sky or nowtv
Agreed!
