    For any of you who have Virgin here is some good news, finally sorted it out to show BT Sport

    Virgin Media today scored the winner as BT Sport arrives on Virgin TV.

    The landmark deal means millions of sports fans1 will get BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2 and ESPN at no extra cost and every channel in glorious HD.

    Virgin Media already offers all the Sky Sports channels, with Sky Sports 1 and 2 in HD, making Virgin TV the only place sports fans can enjoy every goal, try, penalty and heart-stopping sporting moment with one, great value subscription.

    Dana Strong, Virgin Media’s chief operating officer, said: “Virgin Media homes are kicking-off the new season with the most complete sporting line-up around in one simple subscription, from Barclays Premier League football and Aviva Premiership rugby to F1, live golf and the culmination of a great Ashes series. We’re excited to announce our deal with BT, making these fantastic new channels available at no extra cost to millions of Virgin TV viewers and in HD as standard.”

    Yeah noticed the channels earlier, now if they can get the TV Anywhere Android App sorted I will be a happy camper.
    Unbelievable that they sort out the minority fanbois using IOS and ignored the majority on Android.
    Total own goal by Virgin, only catering to other mobile firms customers.


    Also just in case some didn't know.
    You can watch Sky Sports 1 free on Saturday coming, on Sky 2 and I think on Pick TV on Freeview.
