Can someone explain as l am confused.
Its £15 a month as it includes HD. Its £15 month on Sky as well with HD. Its only £12 on Sky if you dont want HD

Virgin Media have done a wholesale deal with BT Sports worth £75 million a year over three years to BT but remember you have to have the XL pack or above that to get it free Arthur.

Can't believe I'm saying this but Sky Sports are ripping off BT sport! Glossy studio-even an audience for the Saturday Football show!

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

Just came on to say what on earth is the live studio about, but see you're ahead of me! I've got to the stage where I'm switching off at half time and switching over immediately on the final whistle. What a load of silly nonsense.

Sky have there first viable competition in TV sports EVER, There will be a bit of "what the hell do we do" and they will try EVERYTHING and take the headless chicken approach until it all calms down and they get a sensible plan of action.

Sky will already be panicking about how much they will have to pay for the Premier League next time the rights are up in 3 years. TV Companys once said "Don't take on Sky, if you do win you'll pay far too much". Maybe BT have thought, we might not win, but we will make sure Sky pay too much.

I still prefer Sky-Sports by a long away, but BT-Sport is much better than I thought it would be.

On Sky Sports, numbers appear to make sure you are not streaming
