I would say it's offical enough being as it's on Espn's website!

I cant see that Chad. I can see Sky having BT Sports HD but i cant see Sky giving BT Sky Sports 1-4 HD

BT Sports will end up on Sky that's defo however in my opinion it will be at an additional cost like ESPN currently , however I think the monthly charge will be higher , holding back HD won't happen either otherwise people simply won't subscribe its that simple.

It will be on sky of that there is no doubt but as to what the cost will be only time will tell. I personally think it will be about the same as ESPN is now,maybe a couple of pounds more. Hopefully it will all be revealed sooner rather than later.

BT has paid a fortune for their football rights , quite honestly I wouldn't have an issue whatever they decided to do with them , no HD I simply wouldn't subscribe end of story.

I would be very happy if sky change there stance and let us have all the sports HD channels hope they will one day even though I cant see it happening but will always hope for that day

One proposal BT are considering is a charge of £12.50 for their sports channels with an extra £3 to get them in hd on sky. Plus a connection fee of £16. However if you switch to BT broadband you get it free! This is just a working proposal though and nothing is settled. For me I wouldn`t pay that price,I`l do without.

muppetman11 · 16-04-2013, 16:22

Not a chance they can keep it at that price , were did you get this info ?

I was invited to complete a on line survey about it and that was amongst the proposals.

Well if that's the price it ends up it will be an extremely hard sell with Sky customers I would expect , personally I wouldn't entertain over ESPN's current £10.00 so they'll gain nothing from me.
