Reading that article, it doesn't actually say that Bio will be replaced. Or was that previously reported?

So from the email, can I presume that the loss of ESPN HD from the xl pack virgin consider the addition of Nickolodeon HD (I don't have any kids) and MTV HD (err I still don't have any kids) at no extra cost a suitable replacement for Premier league, fa cup, uefa cup, bundesliga, and mls football?
Oh dear.

Erm no... this is just what channels have launched in June, they never said anything like "we are loosing the football", there is a chance both Sky Atlantic and BT Sport may launch this month, all be it without being part of the XL Pack, you are just jumping to conclusions. We still have July yet
