Not sure if it's in the XL package but it's certainly in this whopper of a bundle http://keepup.virginmedia.com/sports...ampaign_banner

Just before anyone ask - As of July 10th no new channels are testing on Virgin Media.

From the link, it shows it being in the package rather than just the XL TV on it's own. I would have thought it would be in the XL TV package too though.

Nice link, thanks mate.

This is going to be Virgin's USP....forget Atlantic, we'll have all of the football in one subscription. Could entice people to swtich.

this is a shame. no bt sport europe for me then

i hate these new package names. i'm on XL or big kahuna which i have to say is a ridiculous name for a tv package.

do i get bt sport europe?? or is it 5 quid more?? i'm totally lost.

Again all we know that time of posting both Virgin Media and BT are still in talks on "how to package" BT Sport Europe on Virgin Media from August 1st.

Did you know that Sky Sports 3 HD, Sky Sports 4 HD and Sky Sports F1 HD did launch on Virgin Media an year ago tomorrow.

Excellent find freeburn.

Interestingly there is only a £28 difference between the list price of Big Kahuna and Big Kahuna Sports which includes Premier Sports and BT Europe.

BT Europe in XL looks promising IMO and if that doesn't happen then there is a bargaining chip to be had with that interesting £28 difference

Hi Vince, as long as I'm not being overcharged, my last bill showed Sky Sports at £31.25

ahh yes it went up didnt it. All i know is i'm on XL tv, XL phone, XL broadband (152) and i have sky sports. I'd imagine i'm on big kahuna sports already?? i'm being offered big daddy but i have no idea what the difference in price is...the vm website is beyond confusing.

XL being mentioned in one place and then 1970s wrestlers named big daddy in another place

If it's not old wrestlers then it's Samuel L. Jackson quotes

Yes, pricing is and always has been confusing. Looks like I'm on the same package as you but I cancelled Sky Sports when the season ticket ran out. I'm still hoping they do another season ticket this summer but if not I will enquire about this Big Kahuna Sports bundle, every pound saved here and there counts

It does sound like you are on Big Kahuna Sports, so you should be fine for BT Europe, Vince.

Big Daddy includes Sky Movies as well...I believe

From the link, it looks as though VM are packaging it in with the Big Kahuna Sports and above. Whether this includes just the XL TV package, I'm not sure.

Maybe Virgin Media and BT has work out how to package BT Sport Europe as the latest info we have is over two weeks old.

That is a pretty decent price for those wanting all the football plus speedy internet and all of the other TV channels.

Could encourage a lot of people to switch.
