Saw it on their Facebook page last week. Probably just speculation, so it'll fight into this thread nicely

Same here. Emailed VM and got the same answer!

@HD addicted

I'm actually upbeat about the feedback I received. I last submitted my interest about 8 weeks ago and was essentially told there was no plans to carry Premier Sports due to little interest. Also it was viewed as a niche channel.

All we can do is keep on asking.

Hi first post. I'm on VIP 20 and 6 months into contact. Can I upgrade yo VIP50. Is it worth it? Also can I exchange my 2nd sd box for a standard v hd box and modem for media superhub at no extra cost. Please advise.

I have asked about it too and received a similar reply. It probably is a niche channel but the launch of Cinemoi (which surely fits into that category) gives me hope VM are looking to add less mainstream programming.

I know I felt the same... Also many people go digital for a better choice of sports channel, Premium sport would be another reason to subscribe VM!

Think you can upgrade to it but not downgrade.

I would have thought the media hub will be free as you are upgrading your bb to 50mb. As for he VHD you will have to ask them

Virgin carry MUTV at Â£6.00 per month. Surely this is more of a niche channel than Premier Sports. I'm pretty sure Premier Sports would attract better subscription figures than MUTV and Cinemoi put together!

Sorry for going off topic, but I'm passionate about Premier Sports

Next year. Hopefully before Easter.

denphone · 11-12-2010, 16:01

l somehow doubt it given their track record of stringing things out.

Ben B · 11-12-2010, 16:03

They'll get the red button early 2011, I'm sure you would rather wait for it to be developed properly rather than get error messages or for it just to not work

Plus just to add to this is that SKY do not take full control the VMTV channels until January so we should be able to access the red button shortly after.

It would be particularly good if Spotify could provide music videos for the TV, but I suspect we are talking about sound only.
