Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I think they will get the channels but at a price very few will want to pay...

Its certainly a possibility but my friend has been stung with Virgins 'coming soon' and other stuff before, so wanted to know how things currently stood. Doubt she will hang around waiting and likely to move to BT as ESPN is guaranteed there, as well as some sweet deals.

That's your opinion. It's not nigh on certain at all. There is no certainty.
As it stands we're not getting it and BT Sport are targeting us VM customers in their adverts telling us to switch.

Correct. If she doesn't act soon she will lose the free HD offer.
Infinity will be in ym area in September, so I will most likely wait till then and if VM haven't got it, switch over July and ride out the poor speed till it is available.

Exactly. Been with them for years and I am fed up with being the last to get everything or miss out entirely.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Don't understand why so many seem to think that Virgin are pulling at the reigns on the BT Sport channels. These are BT's channels and it is they who will be pulling the strings and will be the ones who run the show on this one, NOT Virgin. BT will want to get as much as they can to finance their purchasing of the ESPN rights and the Premier League deal...and quite right too. As a commercial enterprise they are in the market to make money and nobody should be surprised at that. Virgin will be negotiating with BT to get the best deal for all its customers, which includes me, and of course themselves. It goes without saying that BT would have put the first figures on the table for Virgin to ponder over, and anyone who has negotiated contracts will know that the one with the bargaining power will start way to high. Virgin no doubt said NO to the first costs asked by BT.
For what its worth, I have no doubt that BT Sports will be on Virgin on the 1st August. It goes without saying really...but I will....some will shirk at the cost, will believe that Virgin should at least include BT owned ESPN in the XL package, but Virgin may not have any control over that, so all who are saying Virgin need to keep that in the XL package maybe being very blinkered.
Cost of taking the BT Sport channels may be prohibitive to some, and I'm sorry for that, but there are enough of us, yes I will be taking the channels being a footie nutter, to make it worthwhile for Virgin to carry the channels.
Not everyone will be happy, but C'est La Vie.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
That's a very pretty picture that you paint of Aurthur daley and Del Boy sat around pulling their best poker face, making out that this is always par for the course, but can you explain how Murdoch always seems to get dealt a straight flush?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
As I said in another thread. I think Virgin Media posted the original message when the deal was agreed. But BT Sport probably made a stipulation that they don't want anything advertised so BT can gain customers before launch day.
I reckon that the channels will just appear in the place of ESPN on August 1st.
