exactly as i feel mate. Have enjoyed watching NHL on Premier Sports the last couple of months but its costing too much these days to watch everything on every channel.
Now Premier Sports is availabe on VM we shall see what value it holds to subscribers. If take up is not that high (and i feel i wont be) that may open the door for a deal that is acceptable to both VM and Premier to either reduce the price or strike a deal to include it in another pack. Needs a HD version(as well as a better portfolio) to be seriously considered imo.

To be fair to Premier Sports there picture quality is better than NASN if you remember them.

And hopefully the 'Monsters of the midway' will come out on top , to be honest I'm not overly confident though if I'm honest especially as its in Philly.

For me personally they offer nothing now they no longer have non-league football,so I wouldn't subscribe at any price. Anyway I think they will eventually become part of the BT portfolio.

Market for TV sport to hit record £16bn in 2014 as broadcasters play hardball.

That's does not bode well for premium sports customers.

And there is no doubt that because of this then increasingly more customers will draw a line in the sand and say enough is enough.

Agree. At present I subscribe to both Sky sports and BT Sports but if prices rise considerably then I will be forced to choose one or the other,or even neither.

There is only one word to describe Michael Owen as a pundit and that is substandard.
