VM must be in the Guinness Book of Records - for the longest 'we are in talks' meetings.

I am sure that the Directors golf clubs must have cobwebs on them.

Let's hope we are rewarded with a good deal for VM's persistence.

Given the confidentiality of the discussions, what are you expecting them to say, Arthur? You already know the answer, we have told you on more than one occasion. Just be patient. My guess is that it will be broadcasting on VM by Saturday. If not, you'll have to watch it at the pub!

[Arthurgray50@blu]

I will watch it on Sky.

less frustrating than the "coming soon" business... though i'd probably take that right now...

So why are you so concerned about it not being on Virgin Media? It's sometimes difficult to understand you, Arthur. You are getting so emotional over something that won't even affect you.

The answer you are looking for is that the most likely result of the negotiations is that it will be on VM by Saturday, and I suspect it will be part of the XL or VIP pack. Can't say any more than that at present.

You really need to change the record. You have been told countless times that commercial confidentiality is at play here. No amount of email or posts from you will change the fact that both companies hands will be tied by stock exchange rules.

It's business and both VM and BT will try to negotiate what is best for their shareholders & their customers...in that order, no matter if you think that is not right. The shareholders come first when a company is publicly quoted.

I will repeat again, I am 100% certain that VM/BT Sport will announce something before the end of the week...in time for the first game on Saturday. But, if not by the end of the week, I'm sure something will be done soon, as BT will realise that they need the VM customer base that WILL undoubtedly subscribe and I will be one of them.

Some people won't be happy until VM email them a progress report and summary of what has been discussed after every meeting between VM & BT / any other party. That's just not going to happen...

I have just had a email saying:

"We are still in talks and stopping at 8 and going for a meal, couple of drinks and then maybe on to a club. They said that they will be back round the table at 9AM (dependent at what time We leave the club)"

The trouble is to keep up to date with all American sports via other means is very expensive. I shall keep SS for the NFL and Basketball, and I shall have to find other means to keep up with MLB and the NHL. I believe that Eurosport will be showing the Notre Dame NCAA Football games.

MLB at bat on appletv... £35 for the year, all games available. Don't mind if I do.... I also am an optimist, so I reckon bt sports on by Saturday.

Dont need to fulfil anything as it wont come to VM in the XL pack at no extra charge. TBH i cant even see it launching at mo way things are going.

I agree

id imagine the reason it hasn't been agreed so far is

VM: "Yeah lets put it in XL like we did with ESPN?"
BT: "Nah..."
VM: "But you joined us in court action to fight sky about the injustice of withholding sports from customers?"
BT: "Yeah but we're hypocritical?"
VM: "Oh"
BT: "Yeah."
VM: "So....?"
BT "15 quid a month"
VM: "Nah?! that's way too expensive!"
BT: "12 quid"
VM: "Be reasonable?"
BT "Nah"
VM: But we were fighting sky sports before? Come on! XL?"
BT: "but we have the tv rights now and don't care about your customers but our own wallets. So nah. 12 quid a month"
VM: "How about in the XL?"
BT: "Nah 12 quid"

(Repeat every day)
