    I mean it is actually better. Straight away BT customers get all the extra discovery channels thrown

    If you read this report eventually BT sport will be bought out completely if conditions are met.

    Unlikely. The majority of BT Sport customers get it through their phone / broadband package so this is perhaps leverage for Sky to make it more attractive. Currently £25 extra per month on Sky.

    Basically if you have sky sports you have all the discovery channels unless you do it via nowtv where I am unsure. Most BT customers will have sky as there's far more of the biggest draw, football, on it.

    That’s just not true. Loads of people get BT Sport because it’s bundled with a BT package or with cable, but simply don’t watch it. Discovery will want to change that and have their own presence across many more platforms.

    Yeah, I have BT sports through my internet package. I very rarely watch it, the odd Prem and Champions league game, UFC if it's not on too late, I wish there was more boxing, but Warren's cards are so few and far between.
