Doubt it. Virgin previously had FREE ESPN for XL customers so not much has changed and anyone who was likely to change for that is already with Virgin. BT Sport is simply a de facto swap for ESPN with very little extra.
Sky viewers can still access BT Sport but simply have to subscribe through BT for more than they paid for ESPN and without multiroom. So not too different to the previous ESPN scenario - but annoying. Less likely that many will go to the bother of subscribing to BT Sport as a result.
Also Sky Sports has its best and fullest offering on Sky in terms of channels, HD etc.
I don't expect the channels for free on Sky - I would just like to obtain them from Sky so I can at least have the multiroom option. if they were a little cheaper than from BT direct so much the better I certainly have no intention of changing broadband to BT just because of BT Sport.
