Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.

When Sky Atlantic goes to an ad break its displays the following

Sky Atlantic logo with the words 'Only on Sky' below , it then repeats this just before the programme resumes from the ad break , I've seen it literally minutes ago. Maybe they're waiting until it goes live on another platform before dropping it.

Of course that is correct, Sky Atlantic is only on Sky at present...

Just a wonder, with Sky there are 2 different channel packages, the Basics (Sky1, Living, Atlantic, Arts, News & Sports News) and Premium (Movies and Sports), what does Sky 3D fall under?

Neither, you have to have EE+, so its not basic but its not a paid-for channel.

With sky announcing the release soon of their standalone roku box does this negates the need to negotiate with companies and sell direct to consumers? In essence boycotting the middle person which is virgin in this example.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.

Devices such as the Roku Box negate the need for a middleman to an extent, but linear TV channels via a set top box are still the preferred method of watching TV for most people, so there is still a desire to get channels onto the EPG of the various platform providers.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.

So, to sum up: there are 4 channels testing - the question is what will they be? BT Sport? Sky Atlantic? Some channels that have been coming soon? (MTV Classic, Comedy Central Extra+1, Universal HD, E! HD)

The only problem with those last 4, except for MTV Classic, there is nothing new, its just a simulcast of what we already have, therefore I wouldnt put them up there with the excitement that SA and BT would bring...

Your optimism knows no bounds Dave and it seems those pesky doomsayers come Thursday will have to order a extra batch of tissues to drown their sorrows as their famous slogan of believe in better will never sound the same again it seems.:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.

The name "Sky" refers to both a broadcaster and a platform, so the term "Only on Sky" is at least open to interpretation, I'd say.
