Guys think on the 1st august I am 45% sure we wont get bt sports but think I guess virgin no that about 1% or less will leave its a hassle moving virgin make most money on broadband and the tv side is just a add on the more you have with one company the less your likely to leave

I for one would be more excited with mtv classic and sky news hd I have seen sky atlantic and I for one would never watch it in fact I never watch sky 1 or sky living but its personal preference I guess if we get bt sports and sky atlantic on the 1st I bet the next big war on hear will be universal hd and sky sports 3/4 hd o and f1hd

I no bomber said where getting bt and atlantic but you need to trust your source like tecnix on digital spy he/she is always 100% correct ....

I got bored of both. Only reason to watch Smash was Debra Messing and only reason to watch house of Lies is Kristen Bell

Oh yeah that time he was 100% correct about Universal HD and E! HD launching.

Nobody is going to be 100% correct, not even Virgin, look at the mess up when they first announced ITV HD Channels...

I have season one of Smash on DVD which I haven't watched so would have been cool to record whole of season 2 but can't even if we do get it.

Having said that, I can't see the Premiership football/rugby or their sponsors accepting a drop in potential viewers of a few million. The pressure will be on BT to do a deal with VM especially with the lack of uptake by BT.

More Premier League matches being shown than ever before on Sky, more tv revenue than ever before, more exposure than ever before because of things like Match of the Day being made available on I player, on arrival manager interviews and all Premier League stadia being reconfigured for new camera positions at the cost of the club's themselves. A measure of this increased exposure is that my team, the weakest in the division, and odds on for the drop, are being televised live 3 times in August alone! That would have been unheard of in any previous Premier League season. I reckon the Premier League, and their sponsors, are pretty pleased with themselves.
