Then it won't replace Satellite - probably to get more customers who cannot have a dish.

However, what is the difference to Now TV?

On demand currently doesn't provide anything for a sports fan. WIthout recording I would be binning SkyQ.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

More info from My Sources. As of August 3rd at 7.40pm.

Media Boy Sources has reveal that an un - name streaming service is soon to launch on Virgin Media UK.

And my sources say this new streaming service is "an million pound deal for Virgin Media 02".

But I still get the name and prices details for this soon to launch on Virgin Media streaming service.

UPDATE: Virgin Media still to sign deal and talks are "ongoing".

Which streamers are already integrated into VM?

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

From what I can make out, Sky Q over IPTV gives you about 80 channels and access to other streaming services such as Netflix, Prime and Disney +. It may also provide a live streaming service for your sport (similar to the streaming service on the BBC I-Player).

I think Sky will have to provide a ‘recording to the cloud’ ability if this is to catch on in a big way. The reduction in live channels will happen in the end in any case.

Clearly there is some difference as Sky Deutschland already has Now TV, although they call it Sky Ticket over there. https://skyticket.sky.de/

Maybe Now TV sounded too much like TVNow (RTL's streaming service). https://www.tvnow.de/rtl

Netflix (TiVo only), Prime and StarzPlay. By ‘integrated’, I mean you can search and bookmark shows from these streamers on your box.

The players are too to some extent.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

So, the big mystery signing is Disney+ then …

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

Is this the much longed-for QVC app launching as a VM exclusive? :D

Old Boy beat you to it and I agree with you.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

Reminds me of the Press Red Online Shopping they had in the Telewest era. :D

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

I'm not really sure which way Sky is going with all these different products. If this was to launch over here we'd have Sky +HD , Sky Q over satellite , Sky Q over IP , Now TV and Peacock to launch at the end of the year talkabout confusing.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

Yes, although don't forget in Germany they also offer Sky Q over cable too.

I suspect Peacock won't be sold on its own. It will be a tile on Sky and Now. I don't rule out Now being rebranded as Peacock in the long term but it's only just rebranded from Now TV so won't happen imminently!

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

That is going back a bit.:D

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

Media Boy HQ has today been given the name of the streaming service that Virgin Media UK are in talks with over an launch.

All we are can say at time of posting it one of the following: Apple+, Disney + or Discovery +

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

l cannot see it being Apple + or Discovery + so that leaves Disney + which some forum members have already suggested.

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat
 

Considering that’s all you can say, you’ve used a lot of words doing it. Are we supposed to be impressed that you have secret information about Disney+ coming to VM that you’re not allowed to share with us? :rofl:

Also, it’s not an HQ, it’s your bedroom.
