Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Does this mean we get English Prem League matches for free on XL, i have scanned it but can't see a price for XL customers, and if this is true i guess it will be in HD as well.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
I think Virgin are do the following with ESPN on their ESPN

531. For ESPN US to be relaunch maybe that an later date.
532. ESPN - Was Channel 533.
533. ESPN HD
553. ESPN Classic

OR.
551. ESPN
552. ESPN HD
553. ESPN Classic.

Yes 46 Premier League games will be shown on ESPN and ESPN HD this season.
All for no extra cost for XL customers.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Unless there is an agreement between Virgin and Sky for Sky Sports to be at the top of the sports section then I would move it up to

501 ESPN
502 Kept free for poss future ESPN2
503 ESPN HD
504 Kept free for poss future ESPN2HD
505 ESPN Classics

I would do this as they are going to be Virgins major focus for sport and so should take the dominant channel numbers.

and possibly move Eurosport up

506 Eurosport 1
507 Eurosport 2
508 Kept free for future expansion
509 Kept free for future expansion

511 Sky Sports 1
etc

Move the club channels so they are grouped together
