With the amount of money BT have spent they will absolutely have to offer it to VM!

Adverts in the press this week go against this - we are waiting for someone to scan them on (I did not see the ads myself)

I personally have not seen the ads.
It all comes down to the wording, and small print. For example BT can claim just now that:
"You can't get BT Sports on Virgin Media so join BT"
It's a true statement. At the moment BT Sports is not on the Virgin platform.
If however the ads suggest:
"BT Sports will never launch on Virgin Media so now is a great time to move to BT"
Then I would be worried, if I was a Virgin customer.
There is always a bending of the truth with these type of adverts

And it will in my humble opinion be on VM as well before the start of August.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Even IF it comes to VM (and i really think BT dont want it too) there can't be anybody who doesn't think they will end up paying the full price, nothing less, nothing free like people where hoping 3 months ago and i would put my house on only ESPN being available in HD.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Even if it comes to Virgin, I'm not convinced many will really go for it. I won't, even though with 18 top picks they'll be showing a lot of Palace (  ), so I think the argument that Bt have to open it up to Virgin customers to recoup some of their investment is mistaken - I simply don't believe the take up on Virgin will make it worth their while.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Agreed Andy, I think VM know the take up at £15 a month extra will be so small, that it might not be worth doing a deal, but they should be looking at it from the point of view that those people may well leave Virgin Media if a deal can't be done.
