Rumour:

Virgin Media may rollout Netfix on TiVo boxes during October. Rumours also say Netfix may also appear on the XL Package.

That is totally contrary to what was put on the website yesterday which a number of us saw. It said 6 months free which, in my opinion, seems far more likely.

That why I have put the post down as an rumour - re: may not happen.

It could be that it's free for 6 months if you are not on the XL pack.

I think that adding Netflix to the XL pack would be brilliant and ensure that non-sports fans were given access to some good content that is of interest to them. A nice balance.

Would make sense considering what HDFootyMan stumbled upon yesterday. It would be another real coup for VM if it is bundled in with XL. :)

It could be, but that is not what was on the website yesterday. It specifically said 6 months free with XL (or whatever they are calling it today :) ) so the same kind of deal as with Spotify.

Just for clarification is this based on insider information?

Ah, right, I didn't realise that. Still, that could change (forever the optimist!).

I absolutely agree it could change. I just really don't want people to get their hopes up too far. Let's have our speculation with a little dash of realism. Then we can all be happy.

I guess it that were to be the case it is to try and entice the remaining V+HD people to upgrade to Tivo

Yep, I also think 6 months free Netflix is a good enticement for new customers. Especially as it's all built in to the TiVo.

I suppose it's possible that VM is trying to establish the likely take up of Netflix in the trial area before trying to do a deal on XL.

From an Virgin Viewer (Do not ask for name of that viewer - I will not tell).
