General : Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.

[InformationMedia]

ESPN will bounce back from yesterday's disapointment. They are lining up the French Football for next season along with the Brazilian League they have just snapped up. I would not be surprised if they got a few more rights to some other sports and launched a 2nd Channel.

If you look at the whole package here, IF VM want this new channel from BT for the football etc, then they had better start talks now, as we all know how long there talks take.

As we all know that ESPN ARE ON btvision and Sky, so l cannot see a problem there with getting the channel.

My only question would be again is WHY on earth bid for EPL rights, when your customer base is smaller than VM, something smells of Setanta Sports to me.

They will be pushing this with infinity if you read the press release. Im expecting that the matches will be free for Infinity users.

We don't get 'multiscreen' on TiVo... we get the 'connected' tv service that is developing- mentioned in the link given by Media Boy.

Sad but true. Its a pity, but there we are

You think it's a pity that we get the system that's being actively developed and added to rather than the old one that's having functionality removed? How odd.
