It seems obvious that VM will get BT sports, possibly just in time for the PL on the 17th. Depending on what agreement BT and VM come to will dictate what it costs to customers and if it will be included in any packs. BT would have some interest in which TV packages it goes in I would have thought due to advertising. They did want to have it separate instead of wholesale which would have had customers paying BT directly but VM doesn't work like that.

Guess there is a chance VM could re-arrange their packages due to all this.

Some kind of super premium sports package?

If VM have dug their heels in and refused to have it as standalone for a monthly fee then they deserve much praise if it comes to VIP or XL.

Agreed, we will have to wait to see if that is the case. If it is all those who have jumped ship will regret it.

Very XMBC looking, which in my opinion is a good thing. Tivo has great features but still, as has always been the case with uk cable, the user interface is clunky and clumsy.

If the bugs can be ironed out of Horizon, I would like to see it introduced here too. Wouldn't say no to the fouth tuner either, very, very, handy.

Meh. I don't buy that. Information doesn't go up on a live site from 'previous' (no change?) information unless your server farm is totally shocking. It was a 'live test', I'm pretty confident in that.

No offence to you, Woo, just saying...

Matt: Hi, welcome to Virgin Media. How can I help?
Matt: Just type your question below…
You: hey, i just wanted to know the plans about BT sports
Matt: I would be happy to assist you with BT Sports.
Matt: May I ask if you're already a Virgin Media customer?
You: no, so i was just wondering if its being added
Matt: Thank you for information.
Matt: We are currently in negotiations with BT Sports. We’re making every effort to ensure that our customers get a great service with the channels they want.
You: there have been rumors saying its being added tonight? is this true?
Matt: I am sorry, we don't have any such information, when we will get we will let you know.
You: but you dont, customers are the last to find out...
Matt: We will update our customer.
You: on ur website early today it said espn channel 541 bt 547 and 548.. it was on there for 10 mins before virgin took it down..
Matt: Information was correct but it was previous information, right now we do not provide BT Sports.
You: but you will before saturday? and dont fob me off, cause u never let ur customers know nothing ...
Matt: I understand your concern. However, we don't have any information about BT Sports until now. Howsoever, rest assured that you get this information once we add BT Sports with our TV package.
You: are you hoping to put it on XL package?
Matt: Yes, you might get this with TV XL package. I would insist you to please keep visiting our website for more information.
