Unless BT Sports bid through the roof for the Premier League rights the status quo will remain the same with Sky winning most of the packages.

Funny, I like football, but I could do without it on the tv. It's locally accessible to the majority of the country and if certain competitions were kept free to air then I really don't see the need to pay to watch it on tv. A sporting series which only visits your home country once a season, which is an international tour, or which is played wholly abroad on the other hand are why I have any interest in paying for sports channels (I like f1, baseball and ATP tour tennis).

That's what I noticed , its the same with Sky who won't let you take the HD Sport without firstly taking the more expensive family pack , with the pay TV market stagnating clearly the platforms appear to be insistent we take all the premium products even if in fact you only need one.

If Scotland go independent, I wonder if Scots would be able to watch Saturday 3pm games live like the Irish currently do via Setanta Sports?

At the last PL auction it was widely reported that BT beat the Sky bids on all but one package, Sky asked for another bid and were granted it, whether BT were offered another bid after that i don't know.

It was also reported that after BT won the CL auction Sky pleaded for 3 days to be allowed to bid again but were turned down. Interesting that Sky then said BT had paid over the odds when they were willing to bid higher.

Make of that what you will

No point in answering that. It won't happen.

According to this page:
http://store.virginmedia.com/big-bundles/big-bang.html
you only need the Big Bang bundle to buy the season ticket.

Yes you're right but would lose some TV channels if I went on the Big Bang bundle which don't really want to do. Plus the Big Bang with two tivos is about what I'm paying now anyway.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
It a bit smoke and mirrors this offer.
If you are with VM on the top package you probably won't see any benefit by switching. I don't anyway. It's states £84.21 but without Sky movies or hd or any additional boxes. I have 3 boxes (inc 1 TiVo), Sky Sports and Movies all year round, 152 Mb broadband and talk unlimited extra on my phone and I don't pay a great deal more than this offer.
Yes compared to sky it does make huge savings.
Yes for people who just want to watch the football for the season and want to upgrade to this then it's an ok deal.

I don't know why, Doug. BT has bigger pockets than Sky. It all depends whether they are prepared to pay 'Sky' high prices. If they wanted to they could land the contract.
