I live about 4 - 6 miles from Huyton.

Also forgot to mention that when Atlantic airs on VM GoT's previous series will be aired.

I agree NOW TV's monthly cost is more than BT make out of their TV channels however there seems to be loads of deals out and about for NOW TV. If you search the net you can get NOW TV for 6 months for £14.99. Also PS3 customers can get NOW TV for 3 months for £3.00. I think SKY are trying to beef up the figures prior to the next results being released. It would be good to see how many people are subscribing to NOW TV without any kind of deal.

Just thought I'd ask as my family come for Huyton

Not my personal view.

BT Sport will be available from the 1st August as BT Sport. When it airs it will not be marketed as a ploy to take customers from VM it will be more a PR exercise to positively present the company.

Like I have said the deal and the legalities have taken place but VM are not allowed to announce it yet as BT are using this time to attract new BB customers. When this period ends then VM can announce it. This TV deal was arranged a while ago and so were the arrangements on who, when and how it will be aired.

Just think, IF BT Sport and Atlantic arrive on VM - the Comiong Soon tag, and Media Boy would be made redundant - wouldn't they.

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

I would love to agree with you but I have heard nothing that supports your view, where have you heard all this from?

It's not official until it's confirmed by Media Boy, as far as I'm concerned.

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

I wouldn't expect you to believe me, but like I said when BT have finished their marketing for new customers campaign and VM can announce MrdiaBoy will confirm it.

I will put my neck on the line though and say that Atlantic will launch on August 1st and it will be announced at the same time as BT Sport being announced. They will both start on August 1st.

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

I do believe you however I'm just giving Media Boy the credit and respect he deserves.

If the info you are posting is accurate, you'll get plenty of credit in month or so for sharing with us.

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

Wasn't looking for credit, just sharing information with you. Don't like seeing people being left in the lurch. A bit of a stale mate had arisen, and people seemed to be getting messed around but people were powerless to do anything through no fault of their own.

MMM ok - not convinced though, hopefully I will be apologising after 1st August

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

the question is if VM do finally get sky atlantic will we get the HD version too

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

I know what you are trying to say, it's just that the way you phrased it was self-contradictory.

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

Media Boy will never be made redundant as he has too many supporters for that to happen plus there are always updates here and there about possible happenings in the future.:)

Hi BomberAF,

You do appear credible, but I'm sure you'll appreciate that there will always be a level of scepticism when apparently itk information is leaked on a public discussion forum. However, what you've said is, in my mind at least, corroborated by the recent announcement of Bt sports on the Virgin website which was subsequently pulled, and the recent story that Virgin and Sky were talking about Atlantic again.

I hope you won't mind me saying that some of your posts are lengthy, and a bit difficult to follow? I'd be grateful if you could clarify the following points so I know I've understood you correctly:

1. You are itk about sports media rights, and you know Bt sports is coming to Virgin on 1St August. (You've been clear about this point).

2. It will be included in xl, but the price of xl might go up to cover it. (I didn't fully understand what you wrote about what customers will have to pay).

3. A deal for Atlantic has also been agreed - do you know this bit, or are you making an educated guess? (Asked on the basis that you're itk about sports rights I'm wondering how you also know about this non sport channel).

Cheers in advance...
