In that spirit, I would advise you, tvtimes, just to hold on for a few months and see what VM come up with. It's no good second guessing this, you just don't know what is going to come of this. When VM changes hands, the new owners will want a strong sports content and as has been pointed out earlier in this thread, the evidence is out there in terms of the sports content on the European cable systems they own. In my view, VM will be offering BT Sports at a reduced price, and I wouldn't rule out a free offering either. That may involve a financial hit for VM but I don't think it would be wise to give the impression to potential or existing subscribers that there would in future be a poor sports offering on the platform. So my advice, tvtimes, is to wait until you have all the information before taking a decision. The new channels don't start until August, so you have plenty of time! ---------- Post added at 15:10 ---------- Previous post was at 15:08 ---------- Quote:

We are always the last to get anything. I love sport and find VM expensive. I have never been able to justify spending so much money on Sky sports so this free offer looks like my only alternative. |

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I'm more gutted about the loss of ESPN America , sure the channel had lost some key rights for instance the NHL however it offered us real US Sports fans somewhere to enjoy games. Will BT dedicate as much time to US Sport with only one ESPN branded channel with non US sport presumably aired on it also ?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I think what a major amount of customers don't realise is that this is VM all over. They don't give out any information to its customers at all, and l think this is wrong.
We have a major company here, yes, they may have been taken over by Liberty Global, BUT it is still VM controlling the shots. WE, the customer should know what is happening as we are debating what will happen etc. What VM should be doing is exactly what Sky are doing, and that is Advertising the channels NOW. This is where you are going to get the customer basis, Yes, BT are making a big advertising impact to attract customers, along with Sky. What is VM doing - ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING to settle there basis down. |

BT's 'free' Premier League offer is unlikely to trouble Sky.

But we should wait and see. And on a sad note, I can't get BT infinity until Sept, so the offer isn't any good to me :( |
Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
It may be true, but I have heard some horrid reports about BT broadband. My VM broadband has been excellent in the two years I have had it and I love the telly. BT can go and take the proverbial running jump as far as I am concerned! :-)

VM offer a quadraple play package where fibre broadband comes as standard. Those customers not in an Infinity area are unlikely to give up their superfast speeds for BT ADSL bb. Sky however, use BT's network, so if a Sky bb customers moves they can expect the same speed minimum from BT. They also wouldn't need to give up their tv package and can just add this channel with one simple call to BT or by going on the website Bt has provided. Moving their bb to BT I imagine would be quite a simple transfer compared to moving from one network to the other. The deal is a lot more attractive to Sky customers than it would be to VM's. BT originally said it planned to operate across all platforms available but that has now been changed to just BT VISION/Youview and Sky - plus apps and online streaming. They won't allow it on Freeview even with subscription because they want to drive bb sales. They allow it on Sky because they want to attract existing BB customers on Sky and also Sky has open access, so BT retain control of their channels without giving up any of their USP to another platform to capitalise on. |
