I just hope that the subscription doesn't shoot up to pay for all this....

Good news indeed, since BT Vision were rumoured to be in for it. I would think they'll increase the cost and maybe introduce a HD channel on their spare Sky slot.

Not bad at all!

Good news if you watch NRL, bad news if you only want to watch Championship... Unless it means more pubs & clubs will subscribe to Premier!
I can't understand why they don't do Pay-per-view for the customers who don't watch much Telly?

Cant imagine there would be much demand for hunslet vs doncaster on ppv for example

Just renewed my subscription. Gone up to £95.50p for the year. Still broadcasting on Thursdays the Championship games. Fev tnext Thursday. NRL in addition. Easy Peasy. I just cancel Sky Sports at end of rugby season and then renew when season starts. Saves 3 months subs. Premier runs March to March. So renew just as season starts in Championship. Cracking games all round. Cost of Premier Sports net around £25 to £30 for the year.
