Couldn't agree more that's dead cert in my opinion , someone has to pay for two years free broadband and increased sporting rights costs.

i can already see this conversation
me: "why are you putting up all the sport prices??"
sky: "We have more sport than ever on more channels than ever!!"
me: "But youve lost the champions league rights?"
sky: "We have champions league matches more games than ever next year!"
me: "but from 2015 you dont so why are the prices going up?"
sky: "We have more matches than ever on more channels than ever!"
me: "youre ignoring my point are you?"
sky: "we have more matches than ever on more channels than ever!"

A slight edit on what I said. The games are over 3 days not 4. Doesn't alter the amount they'll show though.

Unless MB is aware of sky sports about to capture bundesliga, French ligue, serie A? I thought BT sport had just recently won these rights tho
|
I am hearing that BT are showing football from Spain from August 2015.

Base on info I have seen the missing Sky Sports are set to launch in July. With Sky Sports 5 to follow on August 12th.
I was told to 'Enjoy the world cup'.

I can now reveal:
The channel will be available to both Sky and Virgin Media customers - in both SD and HD - and will go some way to remedy the fact it will be losing Champions League football to arch rival BT Sport from 2015.
Unlike other channels that just magically appear in your EPG, if you want Sky Sports 5 (which is free to Sports subscribers) then you have to register by pressing the Red button on your Sky remote from 12 June or by going online.

My own view is we may see Sky Sports News moving to after Sky Sports F1.
So it:
Sky Sports 1
Sky Sports 2
Sky Sports 3
Sky Sports 4
Sky Sports 5
Sky Sports F1
Sky Sports News

Sky Sports 3 - 503 / 513 HD
Sky Sports 4 - 504 / 514 HD
Sky Sports 5 - 505 / 515 HD
Sky Sports F1 - 506 / 516 HD
Sky Sports News
|
- 507 / 517 HD
Could it be like this, MB?
With the HD channels following suit in my example above.
Seems nicely laid out on the EPG, VM will probably do something completely different
