Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Well, I would pay extra for it, but that's my choice... anyway, I shudder to think how much BT Sports are going to charge for their channels later this year as i can't see them going the way of ESPN and being a part of the XL package :(

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

l think the deduction as PB says is its still too high as it is not on any other platform either.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

and look at sky history of overcharging and it price of £9.99 a day for sports on now tv tells you everything

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

£9.99 a day for a pass for Now TV is simply scandalous and if Virgin was charging the same my opinion would not differ either.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

exactly Den would be calling Virgin too if they did the same

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

So have BT, and to a lesser extent Virginmedia too.

Yes I have already said that Skysports on Now TV should be around £5 a day max.

But if they made it too cheap, people would cancel SkySports in their droves on both Sky and VM.

So to them it's a reasonable price to charge without loosing too much subs.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

seems a reasonable point

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Ahh so you are all assuming it is from that.
I've no idea if SA has been offered to other platforms, last article I could see was from 2 years ago again and Sky hadn't offered SmallWorld it. Has it been offered out recently?

And please don't let the facts get in the way that indeed you are just talking about costs of a channel that you have actually no idea what the cost was/is/could be.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Of course l have no idea what exactly they were asking for but you don't have to be Einstein to deduct that they are asking way too much for it thus this is why it still remains only on Sky's platform unless you have know something Paul that we don't know.:)

Unconfirmed: Discovery Real Time Channels set to close on April 30th.

I have just been looking up Wikipedia it says that Real Time broadcasts on BT Vision Channel 875.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_Real_Time

But TLC website has confirmed that TLC will be on BT Vision Channel 875 from April 30th.

lol..nice try to throw it on Paul..a "I don't know, but if you don't know I must be right" approach :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Perhaps with your insider knowledge of all things Sky you can endow us with what your feelings are on the matter Sir Colin.:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Den, you used the term and similar phrases in the past, and you're not the only one.

But as you don't know the fee, you are just assuming it is.. and until someone provides a figure (and even then it might still be debatable its too high), then no one knows.

When was the last time any official information came from Sky/VM regarding Sky Atlantic apart from the articles over 2 years ago?

Has it been offered to Smallworld and other providers?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Yes it is indeed a assumption but thus many others share exactly the same sentiment thus l don't think we are far from the truth on this matter Paul.

You would have to ask these providers but one suspects they were faced with the same unrealistic economic reality which Virgin faced on this matter.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

If Bt could sort out a decent set top box, perhaps with 3 tuners like Virgin. Their offering with Infinity BB and BT Sport could become attractive. And they could certainly price it so, should they wish to.
