I agree but like others I don`t think it will do very well. Don`t be surprised though if they put some or all their champions league football on it.

I think they have to show it fta, but either way they've only got another year of it anyway.

Perhaps Ben or SP will have the answer to when they will arrive on our STB's.

Does this mean we'll get history HD? Would be good for Vikings starting.

[denphone]

No announcements at the moment about History HD John.

haha yes very good question den. Also a question...does that mean we'll be able to watch sky sports from our mobiles??? that would be fantastic.

I'm not overly excited about sky sports 3/4/f1 HD as i won't get it if it launches as i dont subscribe to the HD... but still even if i dont get it i just finally want something to launch hahaha

Why does it say though sky and virgin team up in the war against BT? What does signing another deal for sport have to do with a war against BT!? what an absurd comment.
