Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.

Oh damn, that means no Sky1+1. Damn.

I really hope something else sky owns turns up just to prove you wrong cause you've been really adamant on this one.

I was caught by a Sky man in my shopping centre the other day, he was mentioning Sky Atlantic and I said "I'm unsure if I want a satellite dish on my house". His reply was "we'll it's not exclusive anymore, it will be available on a few other operators shortly, but your best price will always be with Sky"

Well, Sky want to launch Bravo, but don't want to do it without putting it on VM, so there is one reason that Sky may want to do a deal on Atlantic with VM.

So the statement you made can't be proved. Who knows what other things Sky need from VM and visa versa. Backhaul springs to mind as an example of a recent deal between VM and Sky.

There not going to restrict Tivo's 10mb Internet connection. Netflix needs 5mb for HD Quality and 7mb for SuperHD
