Seriously, my pessimism is strong that BT won't give VM access to the 3 channels in SD or HD - but I hope I am wrong!
This is only my opinion...

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Anyone think BT's hiring of Gareth Bale a bit dodgy? given he might be sold this summer.

I don't think he's going to be used much anyway. He cant do pundit duty on a sat lunchtime if hes playing at 3pm. he cannot do sat lunchtime if hes playing on a sunday either.
I was thinking more to do with their promoting him as the face of it. But levy usually extracts max fee so he'll prob not be sold till aug 31st anyway

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
It wont work if he moves to Spain unless BT want to promote SkySports LaLiga. tbh itll be funny when they have to remove him. some may think 'writing on the wall'

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
If virgin allowed channels to sell there products them selves like sky do a deal would have been agreed now but because VM only do wholesale the process of getting it on is going to take a long time BT will want a high price where as VM will want it as cheap as possible

Right, because Sky don't own the satellite the channels broadcast from or their own EPG, they have no control whatsoever if a company wants to be on Sky.
Whereas Virgin own their entire TV & broadband infrastructure and can change channels at will (or at least to a degree not to sod broadcasters off).

They do own and run their EPG.
BT have to pay Sky for EPG slots and conditional access as Sky handles the encryption.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
So I don't have to read the whole thread, can someone tell me what the score is with sports tv packages at the moment, and if VM are losing ESPN?
A friend is in to footy and sports and currently she is with VM but wants to know what she would gain/lose out on by staying with VM or moving to say BT or sky. Not in to watching sports myself so I have no idea what to tell her.
Cheers!

As things stand VM are not getting BT Sport and we are going to lose ESPN on July 31st unless an agreement can be reached, which I don't think one will.

A agreement will be reached pretty soon and of that there is no doubt in my humble opinion.

A notice on the Virgin Media website now appears to offer good news to the cable company’s customers. It promises that “BT Sport is coming to your living room” and that the channels will launch “on Virgin Media this summer”.
