-BT Sports to be removed from the old XL Pack (When old deal is up).
-But both AMC and BoxNation may launch on the BT Sport package.
-An well known broadcaster is up for sale.
Great to see AMC may arrive on Virgin Media, but not so happy that you would have to be a sports fan to get it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)

Does everyone think we can expect a significant reduction in the cost of XL/Full House after (or if) BT Sport is removed?

I have to say I have a growing list of reasons to leave Virgin and the Sport on XL is pretty much the last thing that's keeping me with them. There would have to be a decent new offer for me to stay.

If this scenario happens then the head honcho's better have a good plan of how they are going to replace it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)

Ever since BT sport's joined the XL package, it's been rumoured that it's leaving or being pulled.😂

I do know what I miss is the music on demand videos. Vevo just isn't the same, and I know nowadays we've got Spotify, google music and loads of others, including of course YouTube. But I did used to enjoy watching the videos on there.

The trouble with Vevo is its generally full of modern music and nowt much from the past which Virgins old music on demand system was perfect at IMO.

Thats true would only be the 200 internet keeping me but could keep internet and move to sky get 50% off deal and get UHD sport

Exactly! It just felt like it was something that differentiated us from sky. Knowing virgin it was probably to do with cost and licensing issues.

Are those of us on Full House able to use the BT Sport web app too?

Maybe they are to use the money saved to pay extra to Sky to finally bring Sky Atlantic to the platform

Totally agree, Veto is too much of a faff to use.

Given that BT Sport was meant to be 'free' to XL subscribers, it would be embarrassing if they now reduced prices on that basis!

Let's hope they will take Richard's suggestion to save face!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2017)

It would be interesting to know whether more customers would prefer Sky Atlantic to BT Sport in Full House/XL.

Edit: Have your say!

BT Sports all the way - Probably a selfish vote because I can access Atlantic via Sky Go
