Good man, 5 mins is you will probably be able to stomach. I love 'em to bits and can not afford to pay £15 every home game, let alone the extra for away games. However, when I do see them, the standard of football from both teams is less than great
Still, at least there is some amount of integrity in that level of football, unlike the cry baby, primadonna, millionaires of the premier league!!

Anyone know if this will be picked up in the UK ? It seems Fox Sports has agreed a broadcast deal.

I should hope so - London is a host city.

Possibly not

What l am saying regarding BT Sport is that, VM must know that there are customers seriously considering moving due to lack of info on the channels.

At the moment we have had nothing from VM to stop this from happening, all they say is that they are 'in talk' with BT over this.

Yes, people are saying that they are saying nothing, but what about the paying customer, THATS US.

This to me is extremely bad business from a major company. If l ran a company l would be putting out news to stop customers 'going to the other side'. You cannot run a company like that.

VM must know either way, IF they are near to signing deals or not - at the end of the day - ITS US, that will end up paying for it.

One more week to go, before l switch on Freesat for BT Sport.

Arthur yes I know it frustrating but since both BT and VM are on stock maket they got to obey stock market rules and not allowed to say anything to a deal is done or totally collapses they cant break the rules I think it gonna be very good outcome before premier league kicks off next Saturday just have to have some patience till then

But Virgin Media have told us the position. It has not changed.

They cannot leak details of confidential discussions, can they?

Thanks for that, but its a strange way to run a business.

Do you still have your old Sky box?

http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/d...o-get-bt-sport

You need to have Freesat from Sky to order BT Sport on Freesat. This means you'll need a Sky box and Sky dish if you want to watch BT Sport on the Sky Digital Satellite Platform.

That is the only way you will get it on Freesat (from Sky), and you will still have to pay £12 per month, which I am sure you stated previously you would not do, as it was too expensive....

Firstly let me say that, l have always said that IF BT Sport arrived on VM, l would have no objections in paying extra for it, BUT not £12.00 per month - that is too expensive for three channels.

That's how all major companies on the stock market work Arthur and even your beloved Spurs have to announce things on the stock market before they tell the whole wide world.

It's how business works, old chap. You're just looking at this from your own point of view as a customer. If you were in these negotiations on behalf of VM, you would also have no choice but to keep schtum until a deal was done.

Yes. Imagine it was your own wallet, and you weren't a rich son of a female dog. You would be careful too

[Arthurgray50@blu]

Good point to bring up, Members are saying that VM are testing the BT channels on the network, how do we know that.

I didn't think you could find that out on cable tv.
