BT games as I understand it will occupy the Saturday early slot. Man U/Man City/Arsenal/Chelsea/Spurs/Wigan (!) will most probably be in the European competitions and so their games will be scheduled for Sunday/Monday so I doubt Sky have overloaded their picks just used common sense!

I moved my TV to Sky last November so could get BT Sports but at £12 a pop for second choice matches at a time I either can't watch or can see on a TV in a bar before my team play just isn't worth it IMHO. When my 12 month half price deal with Sky expires I will review my options hence my keeping a eye on this thread.

At least for now the £15 you have to ring up and order option for BT Sport does seem unlikely....

What I would like is all the sports channels unbundled from XL and sold separately, with a price drop of the XL package. Then we all get what we want.

In an ideal world I would like to have a long list of channels that I can select what I want to subscribe and just pay for that. That will never happen because of the enforced bundling of unpopular channels by the content distributors.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
If Virgin have done a deal I'd have figured announcing it now would be late enough? Most customers aren't on this website... Surely most die hard sport fans will have swapped by now if they were that bothered?
