What always annoys me is, how do ordinary customers get to know these channels have launched? I never see any announcements from VM, except maybe a Press Release in the Media Centre. They never seem to be fan-fared on their website or anything. You'd think they'd make a bit of a fuss about it!
They could send a pop-up to all boxes, for example. Or even an email/snail-mail. |

Thanks, but as I said, what about their viewers who - for example - don't have internet, or don't know about that thread? My point was that VM don't seem to advertise these channel launches at all properly.
Are you proposing they bring back Cable Guide? Ah the memories of that.

another channel that I will never watch - just hope they bring on more general entertainment channels rather than bothering about sport.
Media Boy HQ has stated ' Premier Sports will have an freeview on the all Packages until the end of 2013. - Then Premier Sports will cost £7.99 per month from 2014. ' |

Premier Sports doesn't seem to be such a great deal as a subscription channel, it has rugby league, US motor racing, South American football, Irish Gaelic sports and NHL ice hockey and a few other minor sports but certainly not that much. Their lineup is actually worse than Eurosport.
