BT Sports being on XL is being quoted as one of the reasons the deal is taking so long to materialise.

only confirmation we have is:

1) ESPN SD & HD will be removed as of 1st August 2013


thats its im afraid, no SA, UK Drama, Skysports 3 + 4 HD, BT, ESPN.

I love to be wrong but that is reality at the moment and nothing I seen changes this, it doesnt help when people wildly speculate regarding meetings and convesrations based on hearsay. What one person says to someone doesnt make it fact.

I would love to be wrong

Something is set to happen as unconfirmed reports say Virgin Media are testing FOUR Channels (As of last week).

Thanks Media Boy, a good point and on this grounds it does look a little more promising but would they still need to test even though they have spare capacity after the olympics and could they test something when there isnt a contract in place?

Looks like everything seems to be up in the air ATM, as VM are making it very clear ESPN will no longer be on VM come 1st August thanks to messages on TIVO, and on the customer service line.

I think if VM don't get BT Sports come Thursday, it is unlikely they will do anytime soon.

Yes the sooner the better as some forum members must be close to a breakdown.

Then they'd better drop the price of XL or lose a large number of customers.

The only thing "coming soon" to Virgin is customers ringing in on Thursday threatening to take their money elsewhere if things don't change.

Although I hope Virgin have some sort of backup plan if they don't get BT Sport from launch...., note that I said "hope" and not "sure".
