Yeah, very little... Only a good cut of a several million XL/VIP subscriptions.
Simple maths, say for example receiving £7 per month per XL/VIP sub, of which there about probably at least 1.6 million out of the 3.2m customers is considerably greater than 20,000-30,000 separate subs of £12-£15. BT will make far more money from it being in a collection than sold separate. Don't see what people aren't understanding about this?
Only 23,000 have signed up via Sky (without being BT BB users), so even that estimate of Virgin subscribers is large at this point. Could change as the season draws closers but I doubt more than 30k people would subscribe on Virgin.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
Still think the EPG closing America and Classic but not ESPN itself may mean something... and not just an error!

I dont. ESPN Classic and ESPN America cease broadcasting in Uk and ESPN is still broadcasting. It could just be that it has to have EPG info until channel comes off VM or even needs EPG info due to other TV platforms

And also Virgin has updated the listings for both ESPN America and ESPN Classic over the past week.
TiVo viewers posted on July 19th at Listings was still showing on both of them.

If ESPN and ESPN was set to close on Virgin Media all the listing would have says 'This channel will no longer be available'.
