Would i pay around £10 to sub no,but as an add on to TVXL i think it works well.
My package is a few pound cheaper than the equivalent on VM , once the College Football has finished I may just cancel saving me a further 9.00 especially since ESPNA have no NHL.

yes muppetman its swings and roundabouts with providers depending on your package,a friend of mine who is well into his football took sky up on the offer of ESPN free for 3 months, after the offer ended he cancelled as he was just watching the odd football match so could not justify paying £9 a month.

But if you want a bit of premiership and american sport with the odd other thrown in £9 a month probably could be justified.:)

Lets hope the F1 HD channel does launch on vm but it could well be a last minute thing as already pointed out,as sky will want to suck up as may subs as they can from their investment naturally,and any ads by VM would seriously detract from that.

The loss of NHL has damaged ESPN America. Once the Bowl season is over there will only be College BB until the MLB starts in afew months time.:(

i agree- there is a big hole in the ESPNA schedule for over a quarter of the year- only one sport -college hoops and the some NBA games on the main ESPN channel.a bit poor really. If it wasn't part of the XL pack i would not subscribe to it now and i have subscribed to NASN/ESPNA since its inception.

They really need to bring NHL back next year if they can. As ESPN have exclusive UK rights to NBA is there a reason they dont show more than the handful of games each week on ESPN. With all the available slots on ESPNA now they could at least double the live games shown if not more.

Exactly, College BB doesn't warrant 9.00 a month , not a problem when you have it included in XL.

Sky Sports F1 will launch on March 18th.

Still no news on if this channel will also launch on that date on Virgin Media.
The March 18th date was seen on Sky Sports 3 by me last night just before WWE Raw started.

I see that some of the 3D on demand was taken off on new years day. Others are due to come off by 16th January so I hope there will be some more new programmes soon. There is no date for when the ESPN 3d programmes are due to end though.

I have a feeling that ESPNA will be able to get the NHL rights for a good price next time they're available. The NHL gambled on getting loads of channels bidding for the rights in each country and it definitely seems to have backfired.

UPDATE: Sky Sports F1 to launch on March 1st on Sky and Smallworld Cable.

Look like Sky will launch their F1 Channel on March 1st with the first race weekend being on March 16th til 18th.

Talks are still ongoing with Sky and Virgin Media over this channel.

Well now we have to wait for the news a lot of us want to hear and lets hope we will get it in HD as well as well as SD.

The lack of Sky F1 would seriously make me question whether I want to stay with Virgin. I really hope they announce it soon.

So it looks like that they may only transmit the Race for the first round as practice 1 & 2 is on the 16th and P3 & qualifying is on the 17th.

I hope you are right Lew , I have missed watching the Bruins play and HNIC, not to mention Don Cherry's wonderful clothing ;):D:D
