Whilst I cannot quote a source or a posting i do remember something on the line of £3 wholesale before to espn so it would be in line with current calculation people are suggesting here and we gained two additional HD (espn sd+hd, America and classic for bt 1 & 2 hd+sd and espn hd +sd)

I feel like a denphone song coming

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.

My understanding is Virgin have around 1.8 million XL customers.

Whilst Virgin are paying £75 million per year, some of that will be covered by M, M+ and L customers who take BT Sports for £15.00 per month.

It's impossible to work out exactly how much this will cost, per head, to people on the XL package.

It's another 6 month until the next price increase anyway. Enjoy BT Sports at no extra cost for now. Those with XL who don't enjoy sport, don't get too upset. You've had plenty of new HD and SD channels added in recent months too.

The XL TV package is probably the best value package in the UK at the moment.

Stop being so logical & level-headed Chad. We need riots and complaining.

Have your cake and eat it I say

Think yourselves lucky. All I've got too look forward too is a price increase in September

Even those who have XL and don't enjoy sport should take time to bask in the glory of Virgin getting one over on SKY and BT. Sure BT have Virgins money, but Virgin is the only place in the UK to get all SKY and BT Sports channels from the same provider under 1 subscription.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.

I have a sneaky feeling that VM are probably paying more for this than ESPN and at the moment, are taking a hit on it.
