 I would say it's offical enough being as it's on Espn's website!
 
 I cant see that Chad.  I can see Sky having BT Sports HD but i cant see Sky giving BT Sky Sports 1-4 HD

			BT Sports will end up on Sky that's defo however in my opinion it will be at an additional cost like ESPN currently , however I think the monthly charge will be higher , holding back HD won't happen either otherwise people simply won't subscribe its that simple.

			It will be on sky of that there is no doubt but as to what the cost will be only time will tell. I personally think it will be about the same as ESPN is now,maybe a couple of pounds more. Hopefully it will all be revealed sooner rather than later.

			One proposal BT are considering is a charge of £12.50 for their sports channels with an extra £3 to get them in hd on sky. Plus a connection fee of £16. However if you switch to BT broadband you get it free! This is just a working proposal though and nothing is settled. For me I wouldn`t pay that price,I`l do without.
