I admire what info you give on here and the VM forum but feel after the cock up with the weblink last weekend VM should announce sooner rather than later about BT Sport - unless it is date sensitive...

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

Would be a good way to make up for the loss of ESPN and then VM can have BT Sports as a premium package.

When you click on 'see all sports channels' on this web page SS1&2HD are NOT listed there, they are only on the front page; sounds like another VM web page blunder...

Agree but with virgins new chief executive in waiting Tom Mockridge, the former News International chief executive maybe something has been arranged due to his previous history with Sky and Rupert Murdoch could mean SKY want to work more closly with virgin cause of the threat of BT
