The X Games starts tonight (about 2a.m.), They need to get it sorted by then.

To get it for free on SKY you need to be a BT broadband customer. SKY customers without BT broadband can get the channels for £12.00 or £15.00 in HD.

So if this talk of 'being told something on the 17th' is true, it's probably too late to get it on in time for that match as well.
This should have been sorted out by now. they've had more than enough time.

That's just how negotiations work I'm afraid. There are not enough Liverpool fans to make those games a critical deadline. Now if it had been the League champions...
I'm afraid it is a case of hang tight and wait for the outcome or jump ship now.

Yeah, I think that's an issue more than likely with the HBO content and the exclusivity. Some day...

Ah I see didn't know that, maybe that's the hold up with VM then they don't want BT sport under the same circumstances as Sky free with BT BB, they could potentially lose a lot of BB customers that way.
Can't see it going to XL package for free then, possibly £5 off.

Liverpool have got hardly any fans, that's why they're on TV 9 times in the first 13 matches like.
same number of times as the "league champions."

I'd say put your 30 day cancellation request in now. Should BT Sports arrive on the 17th give Virgin a call and cancel your request. If it doesn't launch on the 17th you only have 13 days left of your cancellation period to go before you can join BT or SKY.

You might want to re-think that.
Liverpool and United fans provide the biggest audiences for televised games, BY FAR.
We have just sold out a 95,000+ capacity stadium for a friendly in Australia!
Very, very few clubs have a fanbase as big as Liverpool's.
