If we and/or Virgin Media Payments:
a) increase our charges under this agreement
b) make significant changes to the services so the services you are entitled to receive in return for the charges you pay are significantly altered or reduced; or
c) make significant changes to the terms and conditions of this agreement (including the other legal stuff),
Disseminate the above and it states "If we virgin make significant changes". They are not legally making the changes and if you note they put the term "Services" in bold - nowhere in these terms to they quote content.
May or may not be fair but legally they cannot be challenged under these conditions.

Everything within your contract is without reasonable control. I'm sure it says at the top!

BT may not actually want Virgin to have the channels, Virgin may be putting an offer in and BT just flat out denying it!

As I said a few days ago, I am sure VM view August the 17th as the key date rather than today. They'll leave striking a deal until as late as possible to get the best deal they can, it's what they've always done.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
Are the 4 channels still testing? If so does that suggest that something is going to be launched soon or were they testing BT Sports on the assumption of a deal being done?
Personally I don't think 1 August was the absolute deadline for a deal, more like the first EPL match on 7 August(?). I'm not giving up hope just yet.
If it doesn't arrive then BT won't get any money from me and I'll use my VM broadband to stream one of those dodgy footy sites ;-)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
What a bad day for VM and it's customers, just proves false rumours happen!. SA, anyone, wasn't that supposed to be happening from today!.
Never thought I'd say it, but I am losing faith in VM's ability to negotiate anything. Very poor from a so called Market Leader.
Not a big sport fan myself but do appreciate this must be really frustrating for many.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
The only way I can see BT Sport coming to virgin media is for everyone to pay for it like you do on Sky. I know VM are probably trying to get it free for the top pack / s but if BT play hard ball and refuse to let them do it thats there only other option
