When Frank Warren originally set up Boxnation with Simon Green two years ago, he knew that he never had the economies of scale to make it a standalone success. He also knew that if he built up the infrastructure and obtained a decent subscriber base, that it would be an excellent assett to sell on.

Simon Green is now head of BT Sport and talks on a takeover of Boxnation began on 13/1/13. Up until now the main priority for BT, however, has been to sucessfully launch their main channels on 1/8/13.

Whats your point? i live in my mums boxroom. I'm 27 years old. I'm single. I live on the internet. I care about BT sport and channels which are potentially coming as its the most exciting thing happening in my tedious existence.

I do not care if this makes me pathetic or sad.

I win because i'm BRUTALLY HONEST

Hi

First time poster long time watcher

like many here I been hoping to see if the rumours come out true for both SA and BT

this for me from Digitalspy from the smallword MD cable owner is a little worrying:

Hi

We've tried to get it, but its no go at the moment I'm afraid. They seem pretty keen on an exclusive launch...it may change after a while but I have a feeling it will be like Sky Atlantic and BT can't get the fee they want for it after the initial hype, and so keep it exclusive.

We have taken £5 pm of the price of our Sky Sports Pack, and reduced it to £16 pm (Sky price is £22 pm from September) by way of a response...



Hope that helps clarify

Kind regards

David
MD Smallworld Cable

David was the first to confirm when F1 HD was not available and also about SA being an exclusive so its concerning when he starts using the "exclusive title"

So the one guy who would know, has been correct every time and is in exactly the same position as VM says its not happening - how are you going to spin it this time guys?

I personally don't think SA or BT are coming but what do I know!

Interesting though Smallworld are taking steps to fight against BT with is £5 discount (Virgin confirm no reduction in XL).

from a size structure BT might be looking to target the likes of Smallworld and WrightCable due to their size i.e. easier to convert these and not big enough to fight back.
