Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
That new insider who told me about BT Sports on July 13th has today been back to me with new info.
I will not be posting that info until I get the same info from an other insider.

Didn't anyone notice the word "Currently" in that add?
The add is true for today, but who knows if it will be in a few days time?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
Is it just me or on the adverts that have been posted does it not say about the credits "not currently available on virgin" or something to that effect?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
To be fair BomberAF said that the BT Sport/Atlantic deal involved both Sky and BT directly advertising at VM customers in order to give VM a better deal. All the people that switch will be in contracts remember

Also a friend who works within on air presentation at Sky has informed me that a memo has been sent round to avoid using the "exclusive to Sky" in reference to Atlantic in on air presentation...

After seeing that BT have only signed up 500,000 which includes BT vision customers, can BT really afford not to allow BT sports in XL if only to boost the numbers subing to their premier channels.

An good story is up on the BBC web site about BT and it says:
Quote:
BT says it has signed up more than 500,000 subscribers to its television sports channels ahead of the new football season.
However, most are existing customers who received the channels for free after renewing their broadband contracts.
When these are stripped out, BT added just 23,000 new subscribers.

What was the quote BT said at it's launch in May?
"Sports fans are the real winners today"
Well doesn't look like it!
