I think you can get it on BT Vision, not sure though. I thought it was only Virgin who put the blockers up regarding PS

Would love to ditch Sky sports if I can get this on Virgin

you can keep virgin and use your sky box and subscribe through premier itself ask Fred how to do it .

Do many people with Virgin still have sky boxes? I'd hazard a guess the majority of cable viewers probably switched back in the Nynex or C&W days, Virgin bought a ready made customer base. I don't think many people will have changed from Sky 08+, they really bucked their ideas up on pricing points and value for money with services imo

I still have a dish on the wall and about two foot of cable, but thats it.

I wouldn't even have that if I wasn't frightenend of heights.
