Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
According to the Mail today BT Europe will be included in the XL package.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
The thing is though is if they remove it and then sell it as a standalone subscription then there are going to be quite a hole in their XL pack thus they would have to fill that gap with something quite considerable and if they don't then in my opinion they will lose quite a fair amount of customers without BT Sports being there thus my hunch is l think they will do a deal on the cusp of the new football season.

I think they mean the XL package which I think they renamed the Premuim package last year but let's hope the Daily Mail are right

You may very well think you are lucky , spare a thought for all those who take XL and have no interest in Sport.

Like us. Knock a fiver off and make those who like sport pay for it as a separate pack.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
It's not just the BT Sport they put into the XL pack, it's most of the decent HD variants too :-(, they should be moved to the L pack really. I don't know if this would mean their packages would give more value for money though...

You can't have everything to suit everybody all of the time as nothings perfect even in a ideal world

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
There are several channels on XL I never watch and never will but it is a good mixture and if it does VM good to have BT Sport included then hopefully the new channel will be included too...
