Yer fair play bud,but come on we lose a channel,then we lose espn and vm say xl price ain't going down surely they don't class drama as a adequate replacement to justify price staying same.

The trouble is its all a guessing game at the moment but one does have their own suspicions.

We'll bud Thursday gonna go one of two ways total disappointment or best vm day ever

Won't ESPN and ESPN hd take the existing streams, and Bt Sport 1 and 2 take the America and Classic streams? Is that how it works? Won't the only testing required be for Sport 1 and 2 hd? Leaving 2 unknown channels - my guess is Sky News hd and SSN hd.

I'd say its pretty certain we are getting Atlantic at this point.

Yes it takes all sorts but if l have upset anybody then my apologies go to them.

If I was to guess the 4 channels on test, they would be Drama, Sky Atlantic, Sky Atlantic HD, and Sky News HD.

Unlikely to be the BT channels.They will possibly use ESPN's old slots.

I think VM could have at least been more customer friendly with their intentions. I don't subscribe to the nonsense that its part of any impending deal to keep quiet to the run in. I pay enough as a VIP customer so would like to be treated as one !!!!!

I would not be able to comment on the outcome of any various discussions that may have taken place surrounding this as I either do not know of the outcome or am bound by commercial confidentiality.

I'm sorry I could not be of more help with this

Only my 2nd post on here and will probably end up shot down but wth are you going on about. Bt have acquired rights to espn so any current contract virgin has/had ends on 31st july as virgin media states.

I did try to say that a few pages ago!

Bt channels will run on seperate streams but could use the old EPG slots. They have to run on seperate streams as ESPN A and C recordings will be available to view until november

[vincerooney]

Ah well more suspicions and guesses. Maybe tomorrow will bring us more information good people...

[MaverickJesus]

I'd like to congratulate Mr Coulter on getting his job as content negotiator for VM and/or BT, seeing as its now gone from 'having insider information from a source' to being 'bound by commercial confidentiality', which are two completely different things. At least try and keep a straight face when you are coming out with this garbage.

Been entertaining on here today. Maybe judgement day tomorrow Will Den break the news early, what will he be having for his tea, or will one of the favourites deliver? I'll give you 2/1 MB, 5/2 the new kid on the block that Bomber bloke. Will Colin and Stokesy be all over the thread ripping it big style or will Stokesy be too busy exploring his new found homoerotic side? Will Mark be raging if its Atlantic or raging about everything in general? Will someone agree with Arthur, lol no that won't happen Just another day in the life of the soap opera that is Cable Forum. Sweet dreams
