Cable Forum - Merged:-Comcast makes Bid for Sky

VM's overall margins are in the public domain. http://www.google.co.uk/finance?cid=695833

It's fairly clear a 50% cut in revenue would be unsustainable.

sp, I was meaning package/service margins, rather than gross - sorry if I wasn't clear.

Maybe this is why Virgin are reorganising their TV packages at the moment. Might be an indication of trying to get tv packages to entice customers back.

MUTV ownership changes

Manchester United have acquired the one-third minority equity stake in Manchester United Television (MUTV) from BskyB (Sky). MUTV is now a wholly-owned group subsidiary.

As part of the club's long-term digital media plans, Manchester United has made the strategic acquisition of Sky’s stake in MUTV in order to own 100 per cent of the content production and distribution capabilities of this business.

MUTV is set to move to Sky Channel 418 on February 4th.

Thanks for the info. Seemed silly that you had to sign up for a sports package to watch a documentary in 3D. Wonder how difficult it is to limit customers by package and time on a single channel.

Sky Go for iOS has been updated to support the iPhone 5's larger screen size, along with support for the new Sky Go Extra service.

Sky Go Extra costs Â£5 per month, which gives you a device limit of 4 instead of 2 and allows you to download programmes for offline viewing.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion

Indeed , I'm sure many families out there will love the extra flexibility the increased device limit now offers them along with the ability to take shows/movies with them on the move without the need for an Internet connection. The coming months should be interesting for Sky customers , I'm sure there'll be some more useful stuff on the way. ;)
