Seen this before but have horrible feeling that this is what VM customers can expect too, I'm thinking we won't see the BT Sports channels tomorrow but will by the 17th Aug when the premiership starts.

Contractually I'm not sure of the position with ESPN, maybe VM have a claim as I know contracts do often carry over when the ownership changes.

I feel like all of us in here are in a prison or something and we're waiting for a release date to escape into BT sport freedom.

I feel like we've all developed a relationship together through our shared experiences but that i just want to run away to japan if i get out of here

OK! I've just gone through and edited out a certain word that I pointed is swearing in any form earlier in this thread.I would not have had to do so much editing if people had refrained from quoting and repeating it.

Last warning.The next person to use it will find me using the frack hammer against them.

Another point could we keep to the topic of Coming Soon to Virgin TV and avoid discussion of football clubs and other topics that have nothing to do with VM TV.

Looking increasingly unlikely that we will hear anything from VM today, or tomorrow. Start of EPL on 17/8 will be key. Pure speculation of course, but have a feeling we won't have any news until around 15/8. Hope I'm wrong.

I suspect Liberty are trying to thrash out a deal to cover both VM and UPC ireland

johnasimmons · 31-07-2013, 12:09

I still think it will be announced with LG's 2nd quarter results tomorrow

Just tweeted a few minutes ago by The Guardians chiefs sports writer:

@owen_g: BT confirm they've yet to do a deal with Virgin Media to carry BT Sport: "We are open to doing it at the right price and talks continue".

Getting the feeling we might be waiting a couple of weeks yet. Premier league starts August 17th...

Well, that looks like the final nail in the coffin for BT Sport launching on VM tomorrow
