You should know the answer to that you claim to know everything else.

Thanks for info.

ESPN to show:
- USA Major League - 2009 only.
- German Football - FIVE games per week.
- Portuguese Liga - Two games per week.
- The Eredivisie - Two games per week.
- The Russian Premier League.
- The Italian Super Cup.

I believe from a posting yesterday that talks broke down, and there would be news today on the VM /ESPN news.

if they get IPL (cricket) then I can see them needing 2 channels asap. People say US sports don't get in the way but what about time for repeats not everyone has a V+ box or stay up late. ESPN America needed another full-time channel when there's just MLB playoff's, NHL and NCAA Football

I should have guessed you'd actually believe that.

That info came from PERCIE123, and it was claimed that the other info came from CS.

He's said that sort of thing before, and it was incorrect. Meanwhile, the VM twitter guys have continued to say that an announcement will be made soon and that discussions are ongoing.

Spotted this on the VM Support Newsgroup after someone asked for an update on ESPN, which was posted this morning:

From the few posts the guy made Arthur, I think its pretty clear he is a VM hater, therefore take it with a pinch of salt.

Arthurgray50@blu · 28-07-2009, 19:00

Hi Andy, you are always saying this about me, l can assure you that l am NOT a VM or SKY hater, l say what l think, and people don't like it, l pay damn good money for what l want to watch, we the customer take all this crap from VM, and we take it on the chin, if VM were honest with there customers instead of keeping them in the dark, they would be a better company.

August 3rd is transmission day for ESPN, most deals have been an yet with VM is the normal 'silence' Its also like HD channels, where are they, probabely still in 'talks'.

Most deals done? last i checked only sky is confirmed no one else.

You always said oyu had sky so why are oyu worrying?

I agree with you we deserrve better but not at the point i have to pay more on my general subscription yes maybe a serperate one but not on my general one hence why i didnt want sky channels back.

i have nothing agaisnt your opinion arthur i jsut find it quite annoying you only take one side it liek you are lbind to both sides of a rguement only chosing the one that suits you so you can bash virign, where virign deserving bashing i agree with people, but everyoen bashed them sayign they failed there hd pledges milliosn of times they faield once and then they have delivered now.
