Is there any real reason why they are still lit up & showing whats on the channel in the guide, & why they still have espn america & classic in the guide even though the channel is no longer available. would this just be if they do get BT sport channels they will just replace them there in the listings and change the names lol

It's a possibility. Who knows?

This mediaboy, does he actually have 'insiders' and 'inside information'?

I am always very sceptical about stuff like this, in fact frankly I believe it's a load of crap.

Has he ever actually had any exclusive inside information that has actually come true?

I'm sorry you'll have to forgive my ignorance here.

That's very harsh. I rarely post on here but I more than appreciate the endeavours of Media Boy and similar posters, who take their time to keep us informed. They are acting on information from insiders, etc and frankly it is better than nothing and is not speculation.

Sometimes it is like a football transfer, you read the stories and sometimes they come true. However, Media Boy only posts fact and trusts his sources.

For me, I thank Media Boy and even when we do not get new channels, I accept it. If not getting a particular channel (BT, SA, etc) doesn't materialise and if it is the worst thing that happens in my life, then I will be more than content.

I'd like to hear Virgin's response if I asked how I'm supposed to watch this weekend's UFC fights...my options are now only 'illegal'

To be fair to Media Boy as well he has not once actually confirmed that SA and BT were ever coming and in fact was through his inside information able to cast the first true doubts that anything was confirmed

I too read but rarely post. My recollection is that all this anticipation of BT Sport and Sky Atlantic did not come from Media Boy but from a new poster who to the best of my knowledge has never posted since!

Keep up the good work, Media Boy.

[scouser102002]

The phonecall with virgin I've just had is the clearest indication I've had that we are not getting BT Sport anytime soon.

I rang up to get my Sky Sports Package re-instated, and they said they are offering a deal with Sky Sports now in which you get it for half price for three months, but you are bound to a 12 month contract with Virgin meaning you cannot cancel your TV, Phone or Broadband in those 12 months.

So they are basically trying to stop people leaving.

I did have a chat with her about BT Sport, she didn't know much really, she just said "We're in talks, as we have been for ages. Hopefully we will get it. I think they are just trying to get as many of our customers as they can"

So she was implying that the sticking point is with them, and not with Virgin, which I don't really believe.

But there you go, make of it what you will.

Media Boy is one of the genuine ones... :-)

But how do you know it is not speculation?

I am asking for any evidence of this.

I just don't believe people having 'insiders', sorry.
