If adding Netflix and Lovefilm to a pay TV providers STB is such a good idea I wonder why nobody has done it to date ? |

I still think there's an element of risk for a pay TV provider adding Netflix to its platform sure the sports fans will stay loyal to traditional pay TV however there's many others who could trial the likes of Lovefilm/Netflix on the pay TV STB and decide it offers them enough when combined with freeview. |
Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 4.
Are Sky boxes capable of streaming Netflix? Isn't this why they have progressive download on demand?
I think for VM, Netflix is a sensible investment and would eventually stop them needing to pay out for their own on demand library and stick with catch up only. I'm sure the current non catch up on demand comes out of what's left after channels have been paid so it could easily be better to allow Netflix to become the On Demand broker. Obviously this wouldn't work for legacy boxes |

The Tivo software that VM Tivo runs on is based on the Premier and that has a Netflix app, so I see no reason why it couldn't be added to VM Tivo. A new Netflix player was added to Tivo in May 2012, and assuming VM eventually add the new HD menu screens to Tivo in the next update, I don't see why that new Tivo Netflix app couldn't also be added if VM plan to add Netflix. http://www.techofthehub.com/2012/05/...on-review.html |

I know Sky like their USP but they also need a challenge. Business' collapse when they rule the roost because they don't have anyone in their way.
If Sky and VM had the same channels it would be better for the consumer and would allow Sky to challenge VM in other areas like Broadband, Phone, Companion facilities. |

I'm not sure if I believe this at all. Seems like nothing more than crude maths by someone trying to wind up Virgin Media customers. Various articles reported Virgin have 2 million XL customers with Virgin paying BT £75 million per year for BT Sports. 2 million XL customers x £3 per month = £6 million x 12 months = £72 million. Essentially someone is trying to make out that Virgin customers are footing the bill for BT Sports being added. Let's wait and see if a price increase actually happens. I can't see it. |

I've read the rumours on other web sites about TUTV closing in November, it is just speculation at present as TUTV hasn't indicated that it will actually be closing at all. In any event, that announcement would be commercially sensitive. If the channel doesn't intend to launch until November, it's a little early to have added the caption. Whether TUTV closes or not, I wouldn't think that BT Sport plans to run the promo loop on Freeview indefinitely. As soon as the promo loop disappears, the space will become available to Channel 5. That's the unknown factor at the moment, how long BT Sport has contracted to use the promo slot. |
