Alternatively, can I get BT Sport on Virgin? Is it fair to assume it will be £15 like on Sky?
I currently get ESPN included in my Virgin package, will I get a reduced subscription because it's now under the BT Sport banner?
This is so annoying, I really miss the days when Sky had a monopoly, it was so much simpler and cheaper.
You can only get Sky Sports 1 and 2 on BT vision for £20 extra (or just one channel for £15). Not sure if they show much live football on Sky Sports 3 and 4 - that's something you should look into before making your decision.
I'm sure Virgin would like to put BT Sport inside their VIP package for less but BT are quite arrogant when it comes to negotiating contracts (like Sky) so it will probably end up costing as much as it does on Sky: £12-15 per month.
