1) SA is no longer exclusive to the sky platform so sky lose out on their exclusive statement they loved harping on in adverts to get virgin media customers

2) the now tv package is tailored for short term customers who want cheap pricing and no contract. It's a different customer compared to the virgin media customer who's fixed into a contract usually paying probably ten x that amount.

Sky are opening up sky Atlantic to different customers now. It would make sense for it to come to virgin media now

Whether it does is another thing ;)

I do notice this is only marked as "Introductory pricing"

Nail and head spring to mind , the problem is for Sky with me they may now actually lose money , I've been contemplating dropping sport this would now mean I could add entertainment to my Now TV movies sub and the total would only be paying £13.98 and all our viewing would be covered as we have a Youview box as well.

Just remember you can't do the now TV entertainment thing on the you view box.

I don't use it on my YV , I have a few Now TV boxes and a PS3 , its also worth mentioning at the moment quite a lot of US content isn't available probably due to content contracts being negotiated some while ago , this happened when Sky On Demand first launched.

I think you're being unkind saying "quite a lot". If that list is complete I'd say it's minimal.

Well I can't access it at all on my ps3 / roku box or my PC so I'm not impressed at alol.

Anyone know what the price will be after the "introductory £4.99 a month" expires? Also, is this SD or will it be HD? Sky Movies are supposedly 720p/1080i on NowTV.

Fair point , after reading on the community it seems to suggest the shows are only blocked on the live TV side so may be available On Demand.

Now TV should work on all those devices , I'd imagine the Entertainment is only on the Now TV box and Roku currently and will be added at a later date to other devices , I'm out so haven't checked.

You may very well be right.......I guess time will tell , Now TV Live channels are SD with On Demand currently 720p the exception being YouView which is only SD.

Thinking about this .... I may just buy the box before Christmas then activate the months free movies over the period, then cancel after

It will work out cheaper doing it that way than subscribing through Virgin for the movies
