I think there are meant to be half a handful, yes. And strictly speaking it's not free (unlike part-time channel BT Sport Showcase) just included with the Sky entertainment channels.

I don't know a single sky customer that has BT sport they always have a mates or nans login to stream online

It makes BT's constant moaning about Sky not wholesaling all its channels to them even more hypocritical in my opinion.

It's just business, if it increases profits then all companies will state or lobby for things that may appear hypocritical. But to be fair to BT, I can't remember the last time I heard BT moaning about Sky not wholesaling its channels.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I have seen the fixtures of bt showcase. And there are a couple of games.
They might not be pl stuff. But it would not surprise me if this didnt happen

My wife kept the M pack and BB/TV on VM, as we don't have a problem on the phone. But l was fed up with the price increases. BT Sport is NOT free, we had THREE price increases.
Its a better deal - and VM couldn't beat it. And here is a good one. EPL IS BEING SHOWN LIVE ON bt sPORT on showcase

Don't think I understood that post at all. You went to Sky or you stayed with VM??
On XL TV BT Sport is 'included' so no cost equals free IMO. Price rise or not.

I'm well aware why they do it and to be fair BT do come under the same scrutiny with its ownership of Openreach.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Because of problems we were having with vm. We checked out sky. They gave us a deāl for 12 months.
So we down graded vm to med pack. Kept bb and phone.
We asked about bt sport. And we have it as a stand alone channel at 20 quid per month.
BT are charging Nearly 30 per month - which is disgusting
Last year vm put the prices up Three times last year
So to me BT Sport isnt free. There was no new channels. So when l spoke to a sales rep in hounslow and he said that there no new channels coming up. And didnt know there was a tivo box coming out.
When we said we were considering leaving vm. He did not even ooffer us anything
So we just have vm med pack. Bb. And phone. And stand alone BT Sport - simples

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
So you are paying VM and Sky for a TV serice?? AND paying extra for BT Sport?
Also there was new channels in the last 12 months. Also not all rises are for TVB, part is for BB and part for Phone line.

So according to the above highlighted in bold, that would suggest that you have both VM and Sky? If this is the case isn't your total combined bill pretty high?

...And more to come by all accounts. But why worry about the facts when Arthur has his regular winge?
I expect Sky will be copping it before much longer!

I know, but the only way to make a meaningful protest is with one's feet. Not if that results in a worse deal though!

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
I aint paying anymore, they can get stuffed, granted i'd miss the BB, but with so many other avenues available for content, then I wont be the only one to leave for other services at cheaper prices.
