    It's not availabile on YouTube or through the Xbox in the UK. They are blocked due to premier sports exclusive deal.

    Premier sports paid a good chunk of cash for the rights so it's fair enough that they don't want people accessing the matches for free.

    I've been watching it on YouTube no bother. Foreign commentary but one or two live streams.

    They will likely be getting money from Virgin based on the number of subscribers in the XL package. In effect, you're paying for it out of the money you pay to Virgin. This way, they get money regardless of whether you watch, which guarantees them a certain pot of money.

    Its only free on the XL package which is the top and most expensive package. I would imagine that they have negotiated some deal with virgin to show it for a limited time on this package for a fee.

    HibeesLA has answered it pretty much perfectly. It adds on to they folk on sky and virgin not on XL package that have paid for the channel. Its supplemeting their income already recieved by additional subscriptions due to them broadcasting the tournament.

    Virgin XL customers already get ESPN and the BT sports channels for (free) as part of their package. Would imagine virgin are already supplementing them so wonder why they've made this move with them.
