Nothing happened today folks please move along...tomorrow is another day in the hit drama story of will we get bt sports and sky Atlantic. starring you favorite tv company virgin

young_timbo · 29-07-2013, 21:45

via Virgin I want to watch every match, and I want to watch it in HD. not arsed in the slightest about Sky Atlantic, Entertainment HD, Channel American Bollox #26 x infinity. Don't care about any of them and NONE of them would be an adequate substitute to a Sports fan. I cannot watch the merseyside derby on sky atlantic or UK Drama. I won't make do with an episode of The Sopranos while a big Premier League game is on and i'm missing it. only BT Sport, in HD, will do.

Perhaps they are starting a five a side team!

Seriously though.. I am betting that tomorrow will bring good news.

why can't VM strike a deal with ESPN directly from the USA that way we would still have some sport to watch.
if I see another road cycle race on eurosport I swear im going to scrap my bike.

that would be a massive waste of time with 99% of people wanting BT Sport of the Premier Legaue, and the other 1% want it for the (completely rubbish) UFC.

ESPN doesn't have the Premier League rights anymore. So this would be no adequate substitute for BT Sport. Neither would a few episodes of Mad Men on sky atlantic, or a couple of terrible films on Netflix. Fairly bizarre how so many people seem to think it would be

Because I can say since joining Virgin over a year ago I have never turned to ESPN, so I'm at no real loss of it leaving.
