Life just aint fair, granted the Virgin Media XL package is probably more than the full SKY HD pack but it would be nice if SKY would give us top subscribers the ESPN package as part of our monthly rental. Certainly makes me less inclined to pay the extra £9 a month for the extra PL games

does anyone know if ESPN have picked up setanta's rights to the IPL as well?

[Barrichello]

Thats good news, we have the L package and we get ESPN free for the first month, may well think of going XL then after first month

Been on XL for a couple of years paying L price after complaining about poor programmes, oh well now I've had XL poor programmes for such a long time this may be good news.
