Judging by that list of "presenter/experts" rolleyes BT Sport are gonna have a hellova wages bill to meet !!
That's what I thought too, let's hope it doesn't go all "ITV Digital" on us. Based on the promo though it looks like they'll do a good job. Having been an impressionable teen during the "Foggy era" I must admit, a Huewen & Ryder combo would suit me fine.

I thought Craig Doyle did a reasonable job on the ITV4 TT coverage.

Rides a bike, reasonable presenter and not too annoying unless he's selling windows.

This is all very well but as someone that refuses to get Sky, nor wishes to have BT Broadband, I'm left at a loss when it comes to being able to view it from next year frown

Still don't see why they can't offer a similar package to Sky with their Now TV. Have they done anything deal-wise with Virgin yet?

No deal for Virgin, and looks extremely unlikely there will be.

Dorna videopass is the only way Virign customers get to see MGP 2014

Currently viewing their first ever programme, looks good so far. The studio is seriously impressive too.

I think they'll be quite well established by the time MotoGP 2014 comes and it'll be a success for them, giving some good viewing.

In terms of football (and it follows other sports), I hear that Virgin have offers from Sky and BT on the table and are due to announce their chosen 'deal' imminently....

Deal has been done, "The agreement will enable Virgin Media to provide BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2 and ESPN to their XL TV customers as part of their packages, without the need for those customers to take any action. This means around three million households are ready to watch BT Sport in advance of the top tier main English football and rugby seasons commencing.

The agreement also enables Virgin Media to offer the channels as a standalone premium service to TV customers who do not take the XL pack. "

This has probably already been covered but what is the story with this and existing sky customers?

I have basic HD+ package with the extra entertainment pack for £5 a month extra.

If I wanted to add this for Moto GP is it going to add something like £20 a month which I wont pay, or as I am moving into a new flat I could get BT broadband and get it for free??
