Yes SS 1,2,3,4, F1 and News in HD. And how can they offer a discount when they don't sell it?
The 4 tester channels will be BT1, 2 and HD. There will be 2 other streams freed on the 1st August as according to EPG, ESPN America and Classic to close, so it works out
Test1 = Sky Atlantic. (Probably)
Test2 = Sky Atlantic HD (probably)
Test3 = BT Sport 1/2 HD
Test4 = BT Sport 1/2 HD
ESPN A = BT Sport 1/2 SD
ESPN C = BT Sport 1/2 SD

Just potentially one of the many options one would have to consider.

Virgin Media has confirmed the following about ESPN America and ESPN Classic after July 31st:
Quote:
Q: WHAT HAPPENS TO RECORDINGS I'VE MADE FROM THE ESPN CHANNELS AFTER JULY 31ST?
A: Anything you’ve recorded from ESPN, ESPN HD, ESPN America and ESPN Classic will be there to enjoy until 1 November 2013. After that, they’ll disappear.
|
So Virgin will not reuse ESPN America and ESPN Classic Channels streams until sometime after November 1st.

By giving you a credit discount of the costs for the BT sports channels:
Sky Atlantic is also mentioned:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
I'm starting to think the Bomber guy, or whatever his name is, could possibly be talking out of a hole in his anatomy, and not necessarily his mouth, but we all live in hope i guess!.....

Perhaps its time to send out the Cable Forum light brigade to track this man down.

This is why I never believe anything until its officially confirmed from Virgin Media
There is still 6 days to go until the ESPN channels will broadcast for the final time before BT takes them over so anything could happen by then but know VM they'll leave it extremely late and remember as well the premier league doesn't kick off until August 17th this year so they could even leave it till week commencing the 12th which is another 18 days away yet
