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

I think that was cause ITV was on Freesat only so you could only get it on Sky by manually tuning. Sky is an open platform. If someone pays, they are obliged to show the channel. Hence all those 900 channels you don't get in Virgin.

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

Do people think that BT Sport can rival Sky Sports for the long haul?

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

Come on VM, do something for us loyal customers and sports fans!

ESPN gone, BT Sports not available (yet), still waiting on Sky Atlantic, still waiting on Universal HD plus a few others and then to top it all off there will be a £3+ rise on Sky Sports collection come October!

Unfortunately VM are currently outdoing themselves in making Sky TV look more and more attractive, especially with all the 12 month half price codes doing the rounds.

Come on VM, get your game face back on and use some of that LG money to fight back!

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

On a side note,I registered for BT Sports a couple of months ago with Sky and it would only accept one of my Sky cards (I have multi-room),when I inquired I was told I could only have it on my primary card,but I am receiving BT Sports 1 and 2 and ESPN on both box's which is better for me but not what I was told.

It's free until 12.45am - the end of the Guyana vs Trinidad game if on BT Sports 1.

How exciting! I wonder what the audience for that game will be?
