Hasn't there been rumors of Sky launching a couple of new 3D channels in the near future?

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I believe the rumour was a Sky Sports 3D channel launching and Sky 3D continuing.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Couldn't agree more , it's a feature that will get used frequently in our house , I'm also looking forward to the iPad companion app. :)

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

More hd channels such as Alibi,More4,and how about some +1 hd channels? It`s annoying when you have to record a program on +1 because of recording clashes and can only do it in sd.

Comcast dismisses report of its Sky bid as 'rubbish'.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

That's ashame as it would of removed the Sky-Murdoch link. Hopefully someone buys up Sky soon. Hey Virginmedia have £6 billion of debt why not add another £3 billion and by Sky?:D:D

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

You do realise that News Corp, Sky's majority shareholder, has nearly $15 billion of debt - it's quite common in large corporates...

http://markets.ft.com/Research/Marke...als?s=NCRB:LSE

In fact, it raised $2.5 billion of it only last year...

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I'm not sure what your point is? Sky makes over £1billion profit who cares about the Murdochs they soon won't have any Sky shares. Some of the banks that hold Virginmedia shares are billions in debt on top of Virginmedias debt.

I did not intend my comment to make this a Virgin V Sky thread.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

My point is that most large corporates have a lot of long-term bonds and debt, and I was using a company (Sky) in the same line of business as an example, and also quoted it's parent (mostly) company.

Another example would be BT, who have a around £3 billion in bonds/debts, as well as nearly $5 billion and €3.5 billion in other bonds and debts.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

LOL, Very creative Hugh:D You can't be "mostly" a parent company you either are or you aren't and Newscorp are not Skys parent company. Another member of Murdochs empire left the Sky board of directors this week. So their influence is slowly becoming less and less.

Price increase for Sky TV customers in September.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

£2.50 increase for me so can't complain :D

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Recalculated mines £3.50 if I keep ESPN otherwise £2.50 not too bad I guess thanks for the link.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Remember MM with ESPN you can get that on the Virgin XL pack and save yourself £13.00 come september.;)

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

You serve your master well :D

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

That's just it though I wouldn't save , my retentions package currently comes in at £78.00 for my listed services so with the £3.50 increase it will only take it to £81.50 until the new year.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Well that gives you a few more months to ponder your options great one.:)

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Mine is same as MM. That is still cheaper that the £5 increase i was going to have befroe i left VM

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

You serve your master well my apprentice.;):D

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

The price of Sky Sports has increased by £1.00 from September so you'd expect this charge to filter down to other platforms who sell Sky Sports.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I am a great servent :D

Didnt think of that so that means VM customers will also get a Sky Sports pay increase. Oh dear for Den :D

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Yes thats quite obvious MM.:)

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Every year Virgin customers get a Sky Sports increase an month after Sky put their own customers up.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Don't worry about dear old Den as other members of our family contribute to our monthly bill so one suspects that l won't be paying anymore then l am now.:D

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

More for less :cool:

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Indeed, alike VM less for More

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Well actually you will find many customers on the other side of the divide who are getting more for less as well Lex so perhaps now is the time to take off those rose tinted glasses.;):D

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Maybe less for less but never more for less on the other side ;)

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I just did the update on Sky GO for android. AT+ is now on their and quite an impressive selection on there.

According to the reviews, people with ICS have no more GO until the next update.

I spoke to my cousin and he said on GO will no longer work with jailbreak Iphones after update.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

MB's Post is correct. Just checked my box and 4 Hd is now on 230 and 4sevrn is on 140

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Numerous websites are stating the update to make Sky Go work with ICS will happen before the end of this month.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I hope so. Sky GO is probably the main reason I have not updated yet.

I already have it on ICS :D canit wait to get the offical app thou

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Mmm. £15 a month after the 30 day free trial. I hate these schemes that get you to sign up for a free period and then automatically bill you after that unless you cancel.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Its seems someone is living in a dreamworld if they think people are going to fork out £15 for that.:td:

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Why wouldn't they it's probably the cheapest way to subscribe.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Just out of curiousity, why?

It is still cheaper than actually subscribing to a sky pacj and then movies on top.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Its a service that's available for those that want Sky movies without a TV pack. Seems like a pretty good deal to me.


If it streams the entire Sky movies catalogue in HD then its a good deal. I always thought Virgin were mental for thinking anyone would want to pay £5 just to use the EPG on TiVo but it seems 100's of thousands want to.

Why on earth would it be that price , that would soon alienate and lose them satellite and cable Sky Movies subscribers.

Considering what Netflix and Lovefilm are charging for their joke of a service, £8-9 for a Sky Movies Pass is way too low

This is Den, you have Sky movies on your TiVo and it costs you around £15 a month on you Subs.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I think its not bad service if you dont have a sky sub on ethier sky or VM and cant afford high monthly bills

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Now TV will be available on Youview from launch. Personally I think Youview and Now TV is a fantastic combo for people who want great TV without the expensive subscription.

---------- Post added at 23:28 ---------- Previous post was at 23:25 ----------

I think it's a decent price.

"Instant access to hundreds of the latest titles on Sky Movies, with new and exclusive premieres available each Friday, at least a year before any other online subscription service."

Netflix and Lovefilm might be cheaper but SKY's content puts them to shame. This is the service people wanted and hoped Netflix and Lovefilm would be.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I agree , it will be interesting to see pricing models when entertainment and sports get added. Being slightly critical for the service to become a huge success HD needs to be added to all devices.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

100% agree, HD is a must for this service to really work
