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

If you say so.

I believe I now will live to se the day when one of Old Boy's predictions comes true and that Disney+ will join VM. ;)

O2 was the mobile launch partner for Disney+ so connections there should have helped with VM getting Disney+ too.

It will all come to pass, Andrew. You just have to be patient unless you discover a time warp I don’t know about!

Nobody gets everything right, even with the rest of Time available.

True, but I think I'm on fairly safe ground with most of the things I have said on here about the future of TV, having read quite a lot about it.

However, nobody can foresee changes that come out of the blue which then have a knock-on effect in respect of the developments you thought would happen.

I hope for your sanity and peace of mind, jfman, that there is at least one channel still standing by 2035. I am happy to be proved substantially right and for you to bask in the knowledge that you were completely right.

The way the world is going maybe none of us will be watching TV by 2035.

Indeed, yes.

Now TV deal for all the Sky Sports channels. £20pm for ten months to cover the Premier League season. How much is it usually?

Try code SPM7N97WAGUJ8F

It's worked for two people so far.

The name of the Streaming Service that Virgin Media are in talks with start with an "D" and end with an "+".;)

I am not allow to post the name in full until deal has been signed. The First anyone may know the deal has been signed with an test for an Red Button Channel (Like Netfix and Prime Video) to appear on DBR for that streaming service.

Surely if the deal hasn't been signed, you don't have any 'secret' information.

Unless you’re actually involved in the negotiations you’re not allowed to know the name at all, and whoever told you has committed a sackable offence. So if I were you, I’d ease off on the “ha ha, I know but I can’t tell you” nonsense, because one of these days someone is going to get irritated enough to try to track down the data leak and one of your “contacts” will get in trouble.

Unless of course it actually isn’t all that serious, and you’re doing the whole secret information thing because it makes your bedroom HQ seem more impressive. ;)
