BT Sports or SKY Atlantic?

If you had to chose one to go into the XL package, in place of ESPN, what would you want?

BT Sports would just be the channels in SD and HD. SKY Atlantic however would be in SD, HD, +1, on demand, catch up and available through TV Anywhere.

Re: BT Sports or SKY Atlantic?

If I had to choose one I would go with Sky Atlantic, i'm a football fan but would probably only watch half of their PL games along with a few Europa League and FA Cup ties, certainly not interested in their other European leagues as the only other league I watch some of is La Liga. I do also like US sports but I have no confidence BT really want to show them and I can just subscribe online to the US sports I really want to watch like NHL and MLB.

With Sky Atlantic I would watch a lot more content per week and would also save on dvd's which i've made do with since it launched.

I hardly ever watch Sky 1 (same sort of channel to me)

Re: BT Sports or SKY Atlantic?

Both would be great additions but as I'm usually following the Blades on a Saturday afternoon I'd not see many of the lunchtime games. Therefore I would get much more out of Atlantic than the occasional footy match on BT so Atlantic all the way for me.
