"What? I have a different internet provider — do I have to switch? No. BT say they will create an entirely new sports channel to host their live football and rugby coverage. This will be available, at a price, to existing customers, plus those who have Sky or Virgin. It is expected to be an equivalent cost to a Sky Sports package — which is around £21 a month." It all depends on whether you believe the Daily Mail are a credible source. ---------- Post added at 16:11 ---------- Previous post was at 15:49 ---------- Quote:
ESPN has been free on XL from launch. M+ and L customers can get ESPN for £8 per month as standard, or as little at £6 per month if they have the SKY Sports collection. I can't see any Virgin or SKY customer happily paying £21.00 per month for a repackaged version of ESPN. |
Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
21.00 a month , someone has a sense of humour :D:D
They can keep it , although I'd be amazed if it was set that high. |

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
How about this
£21.00 gets you 5 Sky sports channels if I am reading Chads post correctly. Is not BT sport 1 channel ? £21 divided by 5 = £4.20 !!!! |
Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I very much doubt BT Sports would be added to the XL pack, even though I'd like it to.
Setanta and ESPN joined the XL pack for guaranteed income, BT are certainly not short of cash at the moment, and allowing a rival service to not charge customers a premium for the service certainly wouldn't help their ambition to drive up subscribers. |

Will ESPN completely pull out of the UK market or will ESPN Classic and ESPN America remain? I'd say whilst there is doubt in the air, ESPN America fans won't see Virgin agreeing a deal for ESPN America HD any time soon. ---------- Post added at 17:19 ---------- Previous post was at 17:03 ---------- Quote:
Interestingly enough some people joining BT Vision for BT Sports might not be able to access the channel from launch. They have a disclaimer on their site which states the following: "From 14th September 2012 ESPN, Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2 add-ons will only be sold to Vision customers who are within a BT Infinity broadband enabled area. Use our checker to find out if you are eligible." You are then taken to the below page and about half way down the page there is a section where you can enter your house number and post code. http://www.productsandservices.bt.co...ts/tv/freeview "Which Freeview and Premium Sports channels can I get? Freeview and Premium Sports aren't available everywhere. Check which Freeview channels you can get at home as well as Premium Sports (Sky Sports 1, Sky Sports 2 and ESPN)." According to this I can't receive ESPN or SKY Sports. Checked the below link which confirms Infinity won't be rolled out in my area until December 2013. http://www.fibremap.bt.com/ Even after Infinity has rolled out in my area, there still seems to be doubt in regards to receiving Premium channels: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/d...id/13922/c/346 Good thing I wasn't considering going to BT Vision for BT Sports! |
