Haven't they already done that ? :confused:

The only Sky channel exclusive to the Sky platform is Sky Atlantic all the rest are avalble on VM or will be soon

[QUOTE=Dave42;35713831]as you well know Howard mate that a sky inforced charge not a VM so cant blame VM for that as for not paying extra for SA that's a basic channel as you well know as well and Sports is Premium so yes that's a extra charge

But didn`t I read on here somewhere that virgin also add a couple of quid on for themselves?

The powers that be within BSKYB obviously deem it more beneficial as exclusive currently , no doubt over time this will change.

The DNPs are still under NDAs and quite possibly ALOOB

That's a really good deal over the 10 months.

It is a very good deal as it's only £40 more than the Bein sports service i use.




ps i think a lot of you will be very disappointed Tuesday a 3rd source has now said the Skysports hd channels aren't launching this week they will be here before the new season.
I really hope they are wrong.

Yes, well they are not listed for Virgin in the TV magazines, and given the lead in time, you would have thought the channel numbers would be there. So I'm not optimistic it is going to be this week, but wouldn't rule it out.

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/35...-post3107.html


The contract was signed the evening before the channels launched. I got a call at 22:15 to say "go".
I don't doubt that the contract was signed when you say it was, Spiderplant, but the sneaking suspicion I had was that there was already a gentleman's agreement between VM and BT that the channel would be made available. That's not to say either that there weren't further discussions taking place over the detail, based on how many people were subscribing to BT and VM trying to push down the asking price right up until the last minute.

Obviously, I don't know the precise detail because I was not involved in the discussions and don't know anyone with inside knowledge. However, you may recall that there were indications from VM that BT Sport was coming and VM had to take down information quite quickly after putting them up on our TV screens. There are a number of posts about this on the Forum that were added at around about that time.

It was always clear in my mind that VM were going for a Setanta-type deal and it was only a question of the price.
