Looking at previous press release's there is no set time when they release them.

Still looking forward to the announcement that BT Sport is coming at £15 pcm and to enjoy mentally telling them what they can do with their sport channels!

Two really good additions should BT Sports not materialise in my opinion would be Atlantic and Netflix included in XL as both offer content not currently available on VM , Netflix also now have some excellent original shows.

If BT doesn't agree a deal with VM, then it's playing right into Sky's hands as the only real way to get BT Sports is on their platform!

I know you can get it on BT Vision as well but that's not really a TV service is it?

It would be even better if they all materialised but maybe that's asking for too much.

Sky Atlantic sounds a bit wet... :-)

Its all down to peoples opinions and tastes really. I would rather not have sky atlantic and netflix if it meant getting BT Sport as i dont want to miss the bundesliga football.

But for some people sky atlantic is the holy grail. everyones different

Just called Sky for price comparison.... They're more expensive, charge over ten pounds for a second room, and where I live, can offer a MAX of 4.9M broadband ( it's always way over 20 here)... So, doesn't really matter what happens, I won't be moving for a more expensive,
worse product!!!!

I can't see it fair if they drop ESPN out of XL and get BT as an add on/not at all without adding something worthy into XL.

OT but I hope Sky reissue their smart cards for the 17th, that will screw BT over a little when they have so many people trying to swap their accounts to a new card.

Oh wait so many, I meant very little, 23,000 to be precise. I believe VM get more calls than that a day.

[vincerooney]

What i still find comedy is BT took sky to court over them not allowing access to sky sports. Sky complained and said it was due to an "unfair offer". But yet BT still took them to court to challenge it and to stop "sky monopolising sport"

Now the hypocrities could be about to stop other services getting access to sport. Bitterly ironic.

I hope sky now team up with virgin media and accept that there are simply some people who they can never get to come to satelite television and will always stay on cable. Team up with virgin media, offer them all your channels and together lets destroy BT.

Thats my dream. A childish petulant dream perhaps but a dream nevertheless...
