General : Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.

[joff81]

I see a mass exodus from VM coming tomorrow if nothing happens in regards to the BT Sports channels by 10am !!!

Personally unless BT Sports also took the DTM and NASCAR rights as well (I think they will go back up for auction) not having them makes no difference to me.

I know you're on a wind up but just for clarification, the Merseyside Derby in the Premier League is an A rated game. it is on sky every season and never on Setanta, or ESPN, and from my recollection it wasn't ever on Prem+. But we're going back 11 years there. even United v Spurs, a very high profile game, is sometimes on the likes of ESPN.

Puts to bed the theory that BT have no first picks. The merseyside derby was a first pick.

Wonder what is gonna happen at midnight?

Have to say this is exciting. I think i would be FAR more gutted if I didn't have my sky freesat setup. 'kin lifesaver!

Just retuned my freeview (been a while) to find 3 new channels of interest:-

Ch 57. BT Sport (An info channel I imagine)
Ch 58. BT Sport 1
Ch 59. BT Sport 2

as well as still listing ESPN on Ch 34.

Will be drama if these are available to subscribe too freeview but not VM!

I must admit to considering wheeling out the old Sky HD box and card, there is a dish feed into the house!

Looks like I won't be dealing at all then. Suppose there's always the pub in the unlikely event that BT show a game that's worth watching.

just done some digging on freeview, aside from the free preview tomorrow we'd need a BT vision box and decoder card to access these. I guess the spare slot is for ESPN when after it closes on ch 34.
