Good news, nice to see Sky loose an appeal.

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
 

Does that mean VM etc now get Sky Sports channels at a cheaper price starting today?

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
 

The following will happen if the story on Eurosport is true.

1) Maybe just maybe they (BSkyB and Virgin) need to sign an new deal first for the price to be cut.

OR

2) BSkyB will give Virgin Media the rights to carry the rest of the Sky Sports HD Channels.

HANG ON I'm confused... I thought Sky WON their appeal not LOST???? HELP!!!

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
 

Wait for official lines to come out before speculating ;)

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
 

Also looks like Virgin will be getting money back just in case Sky won the appeal, they have still been paying full price and difference was kept aside untill the outcome of the appeal.

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
 

Thats the option i see happening

Nice to see Sky get a kicking for once :)

I bet TELLY will be fuming :LOL:

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
 

Yes l have to agree with you for once.

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
 

I dont see that option happening. If it does ill eat my hat, hair and toes in an Omlette :)

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
 

That's correct
That would be excellent if true , very few news sources seem to be reporting it yet.

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
 

Its very hard to get any news link about it at the moment.

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
 

It is this part of the non-confidential judgement?

We will need to wait for the full and redacted judgement?

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
 

Sky won the appeal, whats more the judgment extract notes about how virgin and others were the ones making things difficult.

Ofcom has attributed responsibility for the failure to reach agreement
largely to Sky’s failure to engage constructively with its counterparties. However
the evidence shows that Sky did, on the whole, engage constructively. On the other
hand its counterparties by no means always did so, and in our view regulatory
gaming on the part of some of Sky’s counterparties played a much more important
role in the commercial negotiations and their progress (or lack of it) than Ofcom has
recognised.

Ahhh glad im believing in better with my TV provider ;) :p:
