"Alongside driving up satellite TV subscriptions, Sky also intends to unlock more revenues from the Premier League rights by making the coverage available on a pay-as-you-view basis via its new NOW TV service.

The internet-delivered offering will launch later in the year, as part of Sky's strategy to monetise its expensively acquired content among people who do not want pay-TV."

That to me sounds like SKY will be offering Premiership football on a PPV basis. Couldn't BT do the same with the rights for the games they've landed? Offer the games on a linear basis on their own platform but PPV on SKY, Virgin and Freeview?

Re: ESPN may lose EPL Football(Update)
 

we need new thread....what is BT going to do with EPL rights

Re: ESPN may lose EPL Football(Update)
 

we need this threads title to be updated

Re: ESPN may lose EPL Football(Update)
 

I thought that's what the update in brackets meant, otherwise the title is moot.

Re: ESPN may lose EPL Football(Update)
 

I think it means non sky customers can access games online on a game by game basis rather than a monthly subscription to Sky Go. I don't think it'll be ppv on normal TV platforms because the rights sale wasn't for ppv rights.

I didn't know anything about now TV until just now-intrigued now though, because on the face of it TiVo would appear to be just the sort of connected device to help you make the most of the service, and it would also increase potential revenue streams for Sky. What are the chances?

Re: ESPN may lose EPL Football(Update)
 

NowTV will be available on a multitude of devices that's mainly the reason behind Sky's purchase of Acetrax. The service is likely to be available on connected TV's/Blu Ray , iPad/iPhone , games consoles. The service will be available starting initially with movies then expanding to sport and entertainment.

Re: ESPN may lose EPL Football(Update)
 

Cheers! Actually I have a games console connected as well so not the biggest deal for me if it comes to TiVo. You can keep Sky Go and all the rest of it-I've genuinely no interest. NOW TV looks really innovative though-credit where it's due. If it's priced well I'll almost certainly be dipping in.

Re: ESPN may lose EPL Football(Update)
 

Now TV is the (faint) hope that I've held for a while now, that it would be a way that we non Sky customers could get access to Sky Atlantic; I'm hoping that they include it as a subscription option at a reasonable price.

Re: ESPN may lose EPL Football(Update)
 

I would think you'll be able to get Sky Atlantic content via NOWTV,As once you sign up to NowTV you're no longer a "none Sky customer" and become a direct SkyTV customer.

The NowTV website is upby the way, just with a place holder.

ESPN sport line up is nowhere near as good as Setantas was

Re: ESPN may lose EPL Football(Update)
 

So you're interested in NOW-TV but not Skygo?

Skygo is an internet TV service that's free to all Sky customers, I don't understand how you wouldn't be interested in SkyGo but think Now-TV(Basically BT-Visions model with more Sky content) is innovative.

Re: ESPN may lose EPL Football(Update)
 

Can't speak for Andy but for me that would be because I am not a Sky customer and am happy with my Virgin package. However, I am not doctrinaire and would happily buy occasional content if it was at the right price.

Simples!
