I had a letter from VM saying that the Anytime App will have the BT Sports channels available too.

One suspects even if he did he would not reveal it unless he had too.

I read Vince's post too quick hahaha

Sorry, Vince, it looks like we are stuck with the Anytime App...I don't mind it only being Wi-Fi as I'd only watch it at home anyway.

Any news if Amazon Prime will be coming to Virgin Media via an app like the Netflix app

No news but it's got to be looking slightly more likely today with two developments:
1) The big-money deal with Clarkson, Hammond & May (£160m)
2) The appointment of Alex Green to a new role at Amazon signalling big intentions for the UK market.

I'm sorry but I'm struggling to see the correlation between the two.

it means theyre wanting to penetrate the uk market more. Putting an important person in charge of the uk market division as amazon see it as a market they want to try and dominate more.

They've hired over Netflix the hottest 3 agents in the tv market.

Chances are amazon now mean business with all this so the likelihood of them wanting to be on as many tv packages as possible increases. A tie up with vm to rival Netflix who have their app on the vm TiVo service would seem more likely based on all their noise.

- does anyone know when bt sport Europe launches tomorrow??? I cant see any tv listings for them.

Itll be on tv anywhere but I enjoy watching stuff in my works toilet and my work doesn't have wifi :( so ill be screwed on those long Tuesday nights in work missing champions league football :(

Amazon Video is a tool for driving Prime subscriptions , they are already on many devices. Amazon want to keep customers in their own ecosystem as much as possible ie buying prime , fire devices , apps etc.

I'm not saying it will never arrive on a pay tv box however personally I can't see it happening anytime soon that said what do I know. This is just my personal opinion and I will happily admit I was wrong should it happen.

I agree with this although a source told me in past it was going to launch on vm tivo by end of 2015 i personally can't see it, Amazon are currently pushing their fire tv devices, and concentrating on original content they have just recently signed up the top gear trio.
