The new Sky Sports channel portfolio will realign to the following EPG numbers on 12 August 2014:

No word yet whether they'll be the HD or SD channels

If you have HD, that is the numbers. If you have SD, that is the numbers.
I thought the EPG adjusts, depending on whether you have HD. Mine do

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Tv Mags do not have different numbers for Sky dishes for HD as opposed to SD... must be the same.

-Sky Sports News HQ on Sky Channel 401 with Sky Sports News HQ HD on an higher channel number on non Sky+ HD boxes.

Will be interesting to see if TalkTalk up the price as they already charge £30 a month for all the channels

Yes I agree because they (BT) will need to recoup the money they paid out to secure the champions league rights. How that will work out on Virgin I don`t know,close ESPN and re-open it as BT Sports 2,and charge a separate fee to virgin,leaving BT Sport 1 as part of the xl package?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

Just browsing through the TalkTalk YouView TV guide and it shows BT Sport 1, 2 + HD along with ESPN + HD however I thought TT didn't have the BT Sport channels?

The other thing Virgin might do is to do a deal for the CL and then increase the price of the XL pack thus it is available to many more customers.

I thought it was a join venture between the following

BT Group
TalkTalk Group
Arqiva
BBC
ITV
Channel 4
Channel 5

Here it states

Currently, BT Sport 1 and 2 are not available to view on YouView from TalkTalk. However YouView from TalkTalk is still the only place on YouView to see 6 Sky Sports channels, including Sky Sports F1.

http://m.help.talktalk.co.uk/will-bt...uview-talktalk

However the TV guide on the TT website says they have it
