Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
Excuse the newbie daft question, but how could VM be testing channels which, to our knowledge, they currently have not settled negotiations on?
Would be the other way around, Shirley?

Not many but once you set a example of adding something to a package then customers will expect that all the time Hugh.

Well, I don't recall loads on DS or CF continually posting to say they would, so probably a figure in the vicinity of not very many, if any, at all....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
I do think that the BT line of saying there is no deal with VM so VM customers should come over to us for BT Spprts does sound like a bit of a desperate last gasp to me. I don't know why, but that's just the way it seems to sound to me.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
It's not just the time they'll negotiate up until, it's the time BT customer services closes at tonight - the last opportunity to draw in all the VM panickers. Or for that matter, Sky's customer services if people decide to move, rather than wait a day.
If we can exercise some patience to get to within the final few hours, then we can survive them too.
