Good question Den , I personally think VM will negotiate a deal to include the Champions League for XL subscribers but I suppose it could go anyway. I think BT see Sky and Talk Talk as the big competitors as both operate on the Openreach network meaning its easier for customers to move phone and broadband.
BT in my opinion would receive low viewing figures if every platform is forced to pay the additional £5 a month. As I say all guesswork on my behalf.

I have to agree with you MM...we haven't seen much happening from VM this year, maybe their plan was to make sure the football stays in the XL package... I hope so anyway

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
By bill has gone up 9 odd quid so the five quid for the champions league and 4 quid for costs of the network extra... Fair deal!
Undoubtedly though we won't hear anything until the last minute and the new cheap cost cutting and profit increasing virgin media will strike again!

Yes it might be a last minute thing again knowing Virgin's consistent track record.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
Who knows, perhaps they won't pay BT the subs anymore. Perhaps they will pay for Atlantic instead? BT TV is reasonably attractive (provided you don't care about the Sky branded channels, which are poor IMO) in comparison to VM. I think it's about time VM gave non-sports fans something back in the XL package.
That being said, I would always prefer free sport but it's not right that non-sports fans continue to "pay" for a service they don't watch.

Well said Harry.
It doesn't affect me these days, but it did for all those years that I did have XL.

Like i said i'm not sure as i have no interest in it, what with my team being in Lge 2  |
The only way my team will be in Europe is if there's a war
