ESPN no longer on Virgin Media

Does anyone know what is going on with Virgin Media and ESPN?

Tuned in to watch football last night and the channel was no longer there.

:mad:

You don't come here very often do you?

Or watch the news or read the papers

Thanks Blueju, that is really helpful - unlike the previous two comments.

The channels still seem to be sitting there but not broadcasting.

Is this a clue that ESPN will be back once the deal has been finalised???

I admire your optimism!

I can see into the future

They're probably leaving it up so people know why it's disappeared. I guess it's to save people going on forums and asking why ESPN has gone... oh wait.

We know that ESPN has gone (it may come back though if a deal is reached with BT) but the EPG on Tivo doesn't know. It is still showing listings on 329 (SD) and 330 (HD). There really is no excuse for this sloppiness....

I'm always happy to help, but given that a simple Google search of 'Virgin' and 'ESPN' would have solved your problem:

ESPN Channel is still active to all those who get BT Sport, If virgin are getting the Channels then the espn channel will be brought back, maybe they keeping the channel just in case they get it, saves relaunching espn if the get the 3 BT Sports channels

BT Sport 1, 2 and espn

They are not bothering to take it down only to put it back up again shortly. It'll be back soon.
