Yep and BT Sport UHD requires a minimum of 44Mpbs which is no good for my area as we only have 27Mb Minimum speed guarantee with the range going from 31 to 40

BT and the government need to step up and plan for existing and future needs.

You can be rest assured of that.

In my opinion this is why Sky went with channels for particular Sports , I predicted some of those Sports rights without their own channel would slowly be lost.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
It seems the more rights Sky loose the more channels they add, I'm predicting another change to channels if they fail to retain EFL
Sky Sports Spanish Football
Sky Sports Second Rate Football
Sky Sports Jim White goes on and on about deadline day

Realistically though will they lose them ? If they do alarm bells will start ringing at Sky HQ.
I currently don't have a subscription to Sky Sports however I must admit I didn't realise how weak BT Sports schedule was during the football offseason I've hardly turned it on.

This was me taking a humourious take on the whole thing. In truth I think Sky will retain the rights but end up paying significantly more for them, the only way BT have a chance of ever beating Sky at the key rights is to blow them out of the water to avoid a second round as they did for CL.
I do suspect however the L1 L2 rights (aside from a few keys games and play offs) will end up on a streaming service.
As to BT yes off season is really poor, although I do follow MLB. Their alleged bid of £175m for ECB shows they realise this.

I'm in full agreement with you though , Sky's rebrand has been done to give the impression of more when as you say they are actually losing rights.
