    I see it's offered FREE to Virgin XL Customers, does anyone know if we will get this on the Starview? : )
    Cheers.

    I rang UPC today and all they could confirm was that they are in discussions with ESPN at the moment but it'll be later in the month before they can announce whether they'll carry the channels or not. I think they'll lose a lot of customers if they don't offer the channels so hopefully an agreement will be reached.and the sooner the better

    dont think they'll lose any customers as long as people have dodgy boxes!

    LOL - Good point but I'd say that if they don't carry ESPN they'll have valid Sky Sports subscribers migrating in there droves to S$y.

    Surely if you're and N*L subscriber lets say in Ireland, you'll get the bulk of the games anyway between Setanta Ireland / 1 and S*Y Sports? Do we really need to worry about whether we've got ESPN?

    To be honest Mancred, I'm on MMDS and I don't think that will carry ESPN even when it does arrive so I'll probably have to make do with what I've got!
