I'll forget about ESPN if they move all the college American Football into BT Sports 1+2 and include it in XL pack.

The advert I saw the other night suggested that ESPN has now become 'part of the BT Sport family' and that there will be more content (background pictures showed college football).

http://www.btplc.com/news/articles/s...4a829925ea7%7D

The link shows that BT Sport and ESPN extended their current deal for another 7 years back in January, and suggests that some more shows will be on. It would appear that some of these programs are those that used to be on ESPN America, like PTI.

I did hear rumours of a 4K tivo, but I don't think it was specifially for the football.
Today at angea trade event in Germany, VU+ a Korean manufacturer of innovative satellite and cable boxes have just showcased their new 4k set top box, set for release end of August and usually when a Big company releases something like this SKY are hot on their heels... C'mon VM the world is leaving you behind again.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015)

Sky certainly are dishing out some cracking offers i contacted sky for a friend who can't speak after explaining sky were happy for me to do the talking for her they gave her full pack 80% off for 12 months a 2TB sky+hd box and £100 vouchers.
With offers like that i might go to sky myself lol.

As for vm i feel they really need to up their game now i still stand by what i've always said vms biggest disaster was selling of their channels these were a huge bargaining chip for them.

On satellite, BBC are testing 6 extra red button streams (5 SD and 1 HD) for the upcoming summer events. I would assume VM will be testing these as well?
