Its location on a transport stream used for apps and pop-up channels suggests that it is only a temporary arrangement. If VM decide to carry Kix full time, I doubt it would be on that transport stream.

It's worth noting that the original Kix "tests" were on a different transport stream, used for regular services. So it could possibly move back there after Kix Power ends its run. Time will tell...

Sources are saying VM will no longer be including BT Sport in their xl pack or whatever it's called now from late 2017.
This is the first i've heard about this maybe MB knows more?

Well if that goes and that is a very big IF then Virgin better have something pretty impressive lined up to replace it.

Agreed. Sky Atlantic would do very nicely, I think!

Will be interesting to see if VM reduce the cost that the XL package went up, first for BT Sport then again for BT Sport Europe

VM reduce the cost of XL, are you having laugh. They might put the price up. Thank you MB for all your hard work in 2017. Keep it up.

And Denphone well done for placing the most comments - well deserved

I think l should have won the most bizarre comments. But that's life.

I think that when the new Tv packages come up. There will be big shocker when a new Broadcaster comes in and takes over Sky.

So how come Sky Atlantic is on Eetv then?

Ok it's via nowtv but it's still there so that kind of blows your theory out.
The fact is vm were trying to get it on the cheap and it backfired on them, you keep defending vm old chum i'm sure they'll thank you with a way above inflated price rise soon

You seem to have a few coffins laid out for the death of Virgin Media.

Any proof that Virgin were trying to get SA on the cheap??.

Via the Now TV app, that is still possible.

Yes, the apps on there put Virgin Media to shame!

All of which you can get on many other devices that many people already have, including a 30ish quid Roku stick.

How many TV channels do EE have?

If it`s true then it will be a massive blow for many of us sports fans. I for one couldn`t afford to pay subs for both sports providers,so one would have to go.
