Maybe this is why Virgin are reorganising their TV packages at the moment. Might be an indication of trying to get tv packages to entice customers back.

MUTV ownership changes
Manchester United have acquired the one-third minority equity stake in Manchester United Television (MUTV) from BskyB (Sky). MUTV is now a wholly-owned group subsidiary.
As part of the club's long-term digital media plans, Manchester United has made the strategic acquisition of Sky’s stake in MUTV in order to own 100 per cent of the content production and distribution capabilities of this business.

MUTV is set to move to Sky Channel 418 on February 4th.

You can always try the LFC channel as it cost nothing if you are on the XL pack.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Sky Go for iOS has been updated to support the iPhone 5's larger screen size, along with support for the new Sky Go Extra service.
Sky Go Extra costs £5 per month, which gives you a device limit of 4 instead of 2 and allows you to download programmes for offline viewing.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
Indeed , I'm sure many families out there will love the extra flexibility the increased device limit now offers them along with the ability to take shows/movies with them on the move without the need for an Internet connection. The coming months should be interesting for Sky customers , I'm sure there'll be some more useful stuff on the way.
