About 2 weeks ago the BT website was proudly proclaiming they offer more catch up TV and on demand content than Virgin Media. Checked their website just now and again they are targeting Virgin customers.
"Switch to BT Infinity fibre optic broadband from Virgin Media and claim a £50 Sainsbury's Gift Card".
I'll happily be targeted by BT if I'm offered a similar service, but at cheaper rates.

My next fibre connection will be either BT Infinity or Sky fibre unfortunately VM's service wasn't the best in my area due to over subscription.

Your focusing on BT Vision in its current form as a Freeview recorder with pay On Demand content , give it 2 years or so from now and the service will be totally unrecognisable. Expect some major changes in the pay TV market , Talk Talks packages and pricing already promises to shake the market up , next year they've mentioned recordable IPTV and HD , more competition will give the customer more choice.

But it isn't a fact Dave , Sky's biggest rival pay TV platform VM has access to Sky Sports 1 & 2 in HD as do other pay TV platforms so I'm sure BT will gain access at some point.

Have you ever wondered why BT Vision only carries Freeview channels ?
Sky Sports 1 & 2 is carried on DTT hence why you can receive it on BT Vision likewise ESPN.
BT Vision will soon start to add linear channels over IPTV , many deals have already been signed. HD isn't a possibility for many over ADSL , that's why BT is making infinity a requirement for the linear IPTV channels.

Yes indeed Dave but don't count on Sky changing their intransigent and greedy stance as leopards never change their spots.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Looks like BT are in it for the long haul:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2...ls?INTCMP=SRCH
"The BT Tower, one of London's best-known landmarks, is to be given a new lease of life as a setting for the telecoms company's sports channels when they go live next summer.
BT Sports studios will be located in the 189-metre tower, which once featured a revolving restaurant operated by Butlins but closed to the public in 1981, and at the Olympic Park, where the company is to become an anchor tenant."
"Confirmation on Thursday that BT has taken a 10-year lease at the former Olympic broadcast centre."
