Thanks
Is it in the XL pack or a stand alone channel?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
BT Sport 1 + 2, ESPN and Premier Sports have appeared on L package. I assume there is some kind of free weekend thing going on.
First Premier Sports appeared, then the other channels.
Because I can't think of any other reason why all these sports channels just appeared on L lol

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
It's good news about premier sports but looking at the sports rights they have you'd really have to be a huge nascar or Australian rugby league fan to even contemplate paying the subscription afterwards

NHL as well.
Not, as with other Premium Sport channels, I'll watch enough of it to make a subscription worth while, especially if I'm spending a similar amount on Netflix by that point, but I'm pleased it's here and I will make use of the freeview. Good compromise deal imo, so fair play to both sides.

Watching Brazillian football on Premier Sport and the PQ is awful. No wonder it's free.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
I am still struggling to understand why Virgin do not place more emphasis on the launch of new channels. After all, how many of us would genuinely know that Premier Sports has now launched if they had not read it here.
If Virgin can place a message on screen informing us that an update is scheduled, surely they could do the same for any new channel launch. It;s hardly intrusive, and one press of a button and it's gone !

I think both Virgin and Premier Sports will make official announcments later. After the bashing Virgin took about not carrying the channel, leading up to the Rugby World Cup, they are bound to shout this deal from the rooftops.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
Sounds like the right deal for PS, free until the end of this year and then £7.99 a month afterwards. Could not see the justification for it being within the XL package and if given the choice (I hope), I would take Netflix anyday as something added into the XL package; it is a matter of what has the more wider appeal across VM customers and potential customers so commercially more of a deal grabber.
At least those PS fans here now have the channel and free until the end of the year if Media Boy's post is correct which we should know soon with an official announcement today I guess.

Agree with the comments regarding the PQ on Premier Sports, very very poor. Still, another new channel is always good
