First up, Virgin Media has launched a deal that includes full access to Sky Sports as well as Netflix, 200 other channels and fast broadband.

Full list of Sky channels as part of this deal: Sky Sports Main Event HD, Sky Sports Premier League HD, Sky Sports Football HD, Sky Sports+ HD, Sky Sports Cricket HD, Sky Sports Golf HD, Sky Sports F1 HD, Sky Sports Tennis HD, Sky Sports Action HD

The Essential TV, Sky Sports & 900Mbps Full Fibre Broadband deal includes all the biggest action from the Premier League, F1, golf, cricket and more.
