Sky has strengthened its position as the home of sport and unrivalled choice for sports fans by winning the UK rights to 126 live Premier League matches a season from 2016-17 to 2018-19.

So all this talk of TV newcomers by some was just that MM.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

We don't know yet and may never know. The only insight I've heard since the rights were awarded is that BT and Sky got one package each in the first round per Claire Enders of Enders Analysis. See her interesting interview here.
Advertising-funded games shown on the likes of ITV and Eurosport were ruled out as advertising does not even nearly cover the costs of multi-million £ games. This left the wild card of state-backed beIN but even this company has its limits.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I am looking for the full list of Movies channels EPG lineup for Sky.

I know they start at 301.
PM me or post the list of Movies Channels (And they channel numbers) on Sky here.

Thanks for any help.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Look on the online Sky Guide can't see why you'd bother though considering you have VM and the channel numbers are completely different.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Going to do an story about Sky Movies later this week and just want to know what is the channels numbers on Sky for Sky Movies, TCM, True Movies, Movies4Men, Sony Movies Channel and Film4.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

I wouldn't read too much into the rumour about online only Sky Movie channels , I can't see anything like that happening for a while.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

It won't happen in my opinion.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Confirmation by Sky of their package price rises.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Whack it on other packages and increase Sky Sports modestly. None of this increasing Sky Sports by £6pm from 2016 that so many on here predicted but more a slowly-but-surely approach levied across all services that will get the same revenue but will try and not lose customers.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Well their hope is that by doing this customers won't notice any price rises but in 2015 the customer is getting increasingly price savvy and will shop round if the price rises are not to their liking and for some it won't be to their liking but how many remains open to question.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Your kidding here right ?

I wouldn't call a £3 increase on the family bundle slowly but surely.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

l am of the opinion of those who want sports and premium channels should have to fork out for them but increasingly whether someone is a Sky or Virgin customer it seems everybody is paying for Sky's huge expenditure on sports/movies content.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

With Openreach charging telecoms companies about £8pm for line rental and the likes of Sky charging £15pm-£16pm for line rental, everyone is paying for sports even if they don't have pay TV.

Fair point, it's a very hefty wedge. My point is more that Sky Sports hasn't suddenly shot up by £6pm and the costs have been distributed across other products.
