Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2

So how much storage you think 4K and non 4K TiVo will have, well currently 1tb gives 125 hours HD, 500 SD and then only 31 hours 4K so that not great especially to last 6 years so

1tb = 31 hours 4K 125 hours HD, 500 SD
2tb = 62 hours 4K 250 hours HD, 1000 SD
3tb = 93 hours 4K 375 hours HD, 1500 SD

To give you an idea of the size of the Sky Cinema files my Sky Q box reports the following sizes for Forrest Gump via On Demand.

SD 1.3GB
HD 4.6GB
UHD 18.2GB

Pixel

SD 984MB
HD 3.4GB
UHD 13.5GB
3D 7.2GB

Once Game Of Thrones is finished the value of Sky Atlantic will be eroded.

The top ten most watched shows on Sky Atlantic are GoT episodes. It's a super show both for HBO and Sky and its success is unlikely to be replicated once the show is finished.

Sky just got very lucky when doing a deal with HBO to launch Sky Atlantic at the same time that Game OF thrones came along.

Indeed but Sky Sports channels were recently renumbered and the gap was created by dropping the F1 channels down a slot. The F1 channels could have been left on their original slots, suggesting that the gaps are a deliberate reservation for extra channels "coming soon".

Yep, at which point it will be offered to VM at a cheaper price, I'm betting.

Don't get me wrong I do suspect we will get it but don't get disappointed if we don't because VM haven't said anything on this so it is all speculation at this point

SS Mix could be a driver to sky platform, it should be noted that AFAIK it's not even going to be on Now TV which is not a good omen IMO as you would of expected it to be

It won't end there. It will probably all get repeated on Sky 2 as part of an attempt to revitalise that channel. There it will pick up all those viewers who couldn't watch it on Sky Atlantic, boosting advertising revenues.

Once Game of Thrones is no more, I'd say the odds are evens.

The whole point of keeping Sky Atlantic exclusive is because of Game of Thrones.

Actually, I'd go even further than that... Sky rejig their channels every 4-5 years and once the HBO/Sky deal is up, I'd be surprised if it were renewed on the same terms. So, there might not even be a Sky Atlantic in 2-3 years time.
