Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
All we hear is VM are in talks.... Are they in talks where a dedicated negotiating team are meeting or conferencing each day, or is someone from VM leaving the manager of BT sport a message with the latest offer and waiting till they can be bothered getting back to him?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
still no new eh?
despite my comments a couple of days ago (some 100 pages or so!!)i have succumbed to temptation and posted again.
i am trying to look at any positives in this. From the press releases so far it would appear BT would like BT Sports on VM (access to potentially 4M subscribers) and VM would like BT Sports on it s platform (to keep its customers happy and feel they are getting as good as if not comparable service to Sky)
Both sides want it to happen so clearly its down to £££ and both sides trying to get the best deal for themselves(understandable)
BT struck its deal with Sky some time ago- £12 pm or £15pm with HD ( though i think you sign up with BT direct not through Sky)
You would have thought that same terms would have been on the table to VM ?? I know VM dont like channels doing their own deals - i think thats one reason we never got Premier Sports. I think getting BT sports would be more important to VM than Premier Sports ever was.
so i read that as VM trying to secure a better deal ( i will give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that includes to the benefit of its customers)
so maybe it will eventually come to VM but VM are wanting to get a better deal than Sky ie have the cost absorbed maybe into its XL pricing (in full or partially)- either way not at the price Sky got.
i shall check back in another 100 pages or so and see if anything has actually happened yet.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
BT didn't 'do a deal' with Sky, Sky had no say in the matter. The same deal isn't happening on VM because there is no way for BT to direct sell without it going through VM.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
doesnt Sky have a say on what channels are available on its platform and what channels are on its epg?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Watched BT Sports now for 90 minutes and I'm fairly impressed.
The studio with the digital floor is a great addition. The presenters have a fairly relaxed style which is comfortable to watch . Owen Hargreaves isn't a natural on camera

If you watched his fitness video, you wouldn't be surprised.

A deal was done for the channels to be listed on the Sky epg, and for BT to use the sky viewing card number for decription, sky didn't have to agree to any of that.

Sky is an open platform they are required to allow any channel to launch , Setanta were on the Sky EPG and managed subscriptions themselves , ESPN on the other hand allowed Sky subscriber services to market the channel and handle payments which is the reason it was available on all STB's in the house unlike BT Sport.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Sky don't have to list a channel on their epg, I remember when itv HD wasn't listed and needed to be manually tuned.
