Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)
VM certainly pride themselves on being the only provider where all the football is in a single subscription/bundle...Like it was suggested before, this is a big selling point which I would have thought they would do a lot to keep it like this.
Fingers crossed anyway :-)

Don't get your hopes up too high on BT's statement that some of their CL's will be FTA as it will only be a handful of matches at the very most from what l understand.

Rumours says BT is set to announce something on June 9th.

PlusNet is currently selling BT Sport for £6pm SD, £7.50pm HD, but only on the Sky platform. It is not offering these on its own PlusNet YouView platform at the moment.

It's in the trade publication Broadcast so pretty official.
http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/b...088966.article (registration needed)
"Gary Lineker is poised to be unveiled as BT Sport’s Champions League host at an event next week, at which the broadcaster is also expected to announce the first Ultra High Definition service in the UK."

They have it available on the sky platform £5.99p/m sd or £7.49p/m hd but it is not on their own tv platform yet.
For vm i think btsports 1+2 will remain in the XL pack with btsport3 being available for £5p/m extra, btsport3 will have champions league matches,BT sports extra or showcase will be available in all packs for free this will have the fta matches on this is just my thoughts.
