Definitely. Having a (more) level playing field can only be good for the consumer.

The UK going Nagravsion 3 doesn't make any sense could you explain it

Some people are currently receiving premium cable TV channels without paying a subscription due to the encryption being hacked. Virgin are changing their encrypton to Nagra 3 and are sending out new viewing cards to all subscribers to prevent unauthorised viewing. Thus, people currently receiving premium content for free will have to start paying for it if they wish to continue to view.

as long as they improve the quality of their coverage, I'm not a huge football fan but my OH is and even I can tell the difference between the close ups, camera action and the commentary on ESPN it's v poor compared to sky sports

ESPN coverage is actually produced by Sky Sports. http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/broadcasters/multichannel/sky-to-win-contract-for-espn-match-coverage/5002943.article
