Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Watching the England u21 vs Scotland u21 football online at the moment.

Who at BT sport decided it would be a good idea to put the score and the indent at the bottom of the screen? Why cover some of the pitch, when you can cover the crowd instead.????

BBC Sport spent basically all their budget on the upcoming FA Cup rights deal, so they won't bother defending their NFL coverage (if/when BT bid for it) which was on the Red Button anyway.
Sorry dude misunderstood, I thought you were saying BT had 0 balance left in the bank

How many people are like my mate. Who is on BT Infinity, and therefore "ready and equipped", but has less than zero interest in watching BT Sport on his TV or his computer?
That million figure is people who have purposely signed up!
Otherwise they would be saying 6m.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

The other site is asking for people's predictions for Saturdays game. So, what do you all expect the channel to get?
I think maybe 400,000.

Hopefully a number low enough to make BT Sport executives soil themselves.

If the channels are coming looks like VM agreed not to announce until a certain point as some peeps have been saying on here...

Well they have upset an awful lot of us in the meantime! I will only be happy if we get it free, which I can't see happening some how.

At the end of the day we're not going to get it in the XL pack. Pigs will fly first.
The best we can hope for is to have it standalone.
If it is indeed VM delaying the channel launching for us to try and get a better deal then I think they're barking up the wrong tree. BT are not Setanta/ESPN who are relying on as much subscribers across all platforms as possible to give them the best possible reach.
BT will not accept a rival company giving them as little as £3 and including it in their pack which effectively weaken BT's own position. BT will not have spent £246m on each PL season only to allow VM to have it for peanuts!

So let me get this right. No news when there is no news is the norm when there is no news.
