Very likely I think, but they could test more streams over the next 4 days

"In a direct attack on Sky and Virgin Media, Mr Petter said that BT Sport, the telecom giant’s £1bn bet on small-screen rights, would revolutionise Britain’s television markets, as well as sports viewing."
Whoops, meant to post this in the ESPN/SKY Sports/BT Sports thread.

Full of words which we have heard before from other rivals who have tried to break up the big incumbents of the sector and who have failed dismally.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
I'm inclined to agree with Den. The suggestion that they have more top picks left than Sky and so will continue to grow is actually slightly desperate. Effectively, Bt don't really have any top picks. However, the very fact that he's felt the need to mention it merely proves what a lot of people are saying - Bt's first chunk of fixtures are uninspiring. Apparently, Bt know it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
I must congratulate each and every one of you on this thread for cheering me up, morning after morning.
I sit at my desk at 0630. tea and toast in hand, catching up on the soap opera that is "Atlantic VS BT Sports" - and the fact that not one single person here knows whenever we will get the channel or not has not in the lightest prevented pages upon pages of speculation.
I'm hoping we don't get them, as I will miss the banter !

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
Well actually the coffee is nice and strong this morning and the ‘Great matriarch’ has just emailed me about the torrential rain last night and thus so far there is nothing of note in the Virgin Media news release's.
