I am starting to pray they add BT Sports in SD only, because then I can keep reading this banter !

Last warning.The next person to use it will find me using the frack hammer against them.

Another point could we keep to the topic of Coming Soon to Virgin TV and avoid discussion of football clubs and other topics that have nothing to do with VM TV.

Thanks. Glad somebody else sees I was the victim here. Called that name by that Palace fan, and a load of others, just because I proved him wrong in a discussion over fixtures. Not my fault if somebody can't handle the frustration of being wrong. I shouldn't be sworn at.

Anyway. what's the latest on BT Sport coming to Virgin? seems to go back and forth. I'm still confident but if it's not on announced tomorrow I will assume that's that.

Getting the feeling we might be waiting a couple of weeks yet. Premier league starts August 17th...

Ridiculous. As others said, they want something for nothing here. This really messes up my plans if they don't get it.Going to have to faff about on my Freesat. Can't be arsed having two decoders. And I'll only have BT SPort on my upstairs telly. Gonna be a right pain this.

He wasn't agreeing with you, he was just ensuring the thread abided by the T&Cs of CableForum.

I have been informed by a mate who works in Sky On-Air Presentation (the same one that told me about the Memo) that future promos/continuity are allowed to reference Virgin Media EPG numbers (122 Sky1HD) however to refrain from mentioning its availability on other platforms.

didn't say he was.

He was shouting at the people who swore at me though, hence confirming me as the victim.

Anyway, BT Sport . not going to say any more on that.

Last day for the £3 off offer to get it via sky viewer card. tempted to pull the trigger. this entire situation is ridiculous. Virgin are crap.

Gotcha! Sorry, my brain don't work sometimes

[vincerooney]

even if BT sports does appear tomorrow i really think we shouldnt be in this position. a company making deals to not announce anything until launch date...even if that happens is that really customer friendly? is that really the way to do things?

if it doesnt appear i'm fuming. VM have hinted at it for months "dont worry good things are coming " when you talk to customer service.

Perhaps a little less fortification would help.
