But they get a bigger audience to sell advertising on their channels

They won't sell broadband if it becomes a stand alone subscription channel on Virgin, like Boxnation, either though.

Yes I accept that but BT have repeatedly said the point of the sport channels is to sell broadband. They were either talking rot or they have changed their minds if it comes on XL. In my view it is unlikely for nothing.

So that's BT Sport that's costing Sky customers £12 a month for year 1 then £15 every year after , Netflix at £5.99 and Lovefilm at £4.99 all included in XL for the currently £29.50 if you have TIVO wow that's some deal

Sky Atlantic in XL I can defo see however all the rest included in XL I think is a distant dream.

IMO BT Sport won't be offered free, it may be subsidised in the Xl pack as a standalone channel and Atlantic, if the rumours turn out to be true added to the XL pack.

The force is strong with these rumours of BT Sports and Sky Atlantic coming Andy.

I still think BT Sports will be the same price as on Sky, but you never know...

That's exactly my view , maybe tiered depending on what TV pack you subscribe to.
