    I don't think it is mate.

    I subsrcibe to ESPN and i get ESPN and ESPN America but no Classic.

    When i try to change to Classic it tells me i've not subscribed and gives me a phone number to dial in order to subscribe.

    With Virgin if you get the Sky Sports package you get all the ESPN channels free I think but I'm sure that you get Classic with the other two channels.

    I get all ESPN channels free through Virgin . Thanks to ESPN classic i've seen lots of bog standard football from 3 years ago and i just discovered Ali :good
    On the down side why the hell cant ESPN show Friday Night Fights its their own ****ing show . I mean they'l happlily show under 18's international baseball who wants to watch that , three guys on a US airbase ?
    Basically if you have to pay for it dont Setanta pissed all over it .

    As do I, I think it's because I paid for Setanta or some ****.

    Well compare Setanta's boxing coverage with ESPN'S
    Although to be fair ESPN wins hands down in its coverage of college basketball

    I love ESPN, mainly because I'm a UFC fan. But they've also got a great lineup when it comes to football, which I guess you'd get on Sky anyway if they weren't around. However, they've got American Football, MLB, Basketball, pretty much everything you want.

    It's all good now that Primetime and Premier Sports are in the mix, so no big loss for me.
