I am asking for any evidence of this.

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

I think Media Boy gets genuine insider info when VM allow things to get out as sometimes he is asked to hold off to a certain time. He has been right on many occasions.

Well, that is your prerogative, of course. Why then are you even bothering to read this thread?

No it's not, you could purchase a Sky Box from eBay or Cash Generator, get a freesat from Sky card and pay for BT Sport, I'm not quite sure why everyone thinks that leaving virgin entirely is the only way to get it!

I don't buy it, I'm sorry.

All of this thread is speculation its just that MB has his ear nearer to the ground than anyone else so if he says something is coming (soon) he is believed, if he says it can't be confirmed then we wait (some more patiently than others admittedly) and if he says it's not coming any time soon we know we'll have to wait a little (or a lot) longer.
If you don't believe MB that's your choice but don't dis him just don't read his posts or this thread if you don't like speculation.

I'm sorry but you will have to show me where I have 'dissed' him.

All's I'm saying is people keep saying 'He has his ear to the ground' etc, I'm just asking if there is actually any evidence of this, because as a rule, I don't believe these sorts of things.

Keep up the good work, Media Boy.

Just called VM and still no info so have downgraded my XL to M+ for now will give them two weeks and decide if I'm going to move on (the Sky deals are actually pretty good if you are into Sports).

Did not save that much as I thought about £14 a month but apart from ITV4 HD and FOX HD when The Walking Dead starts again I'm not really missing much that I usually watch.

Anyone else done the same?

Then just ignore his posts and wait for the official announcements..

I think he's referring to the fact that you basically called him a liar.

MB has been on here for years running the coming soon threads and has been right the majority of the time, that's all I need to know.

Exactly right, thanks.

Virgin are now offering 3 months half price on the sky sport package but only if taken on its own you cant mix it with the movie package. and it starts you up on a new 12 month contract..Oh and the biggie you have to keep sky sports for that 12 months full price after 3 months. Is this really the biggest carrot you can dangle in front of us VM to keep us happy?
