He's got access to some inside information, so it may be credible. Let's wait and see. He has provided some good information in the past.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Say enough things on internet forums and inevitably one or two will happen.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Say nothing and there's no need for a thread.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Human nature is against that..:)

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Still doesn't make it inside information more pot luck.:D

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Its like politicians as if they say enough rubbish some will inevitably believe it.:D

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I would imagine that if you have a contact or two in the right places, you may get some good information about what may be happening.

However, like Brexit, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, and until contracts are signed, there is always the chance that the deal will fall through. That's what happened with the original Amazon/VM negotiations. It doesn't make the original information wrong though, if it was the intention to do a deal.

Being rumoured that British boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has agreed a deal with either Netflix or Amazon Prime, in the States, for his UK fight cards to be streamed live on their platform. Around 20 shows per year. News imminent apparently.

I do not quite understand what you expecting from us, Den.

We are trying to establish what may be coming to the VM platform when there is damn all public information. You slam us when we try to indicate the way things are going, but you know as well as anyone that until it is officially announced (normally within a few days before or after launch) nothing is confirmed.

Despite the speculation about the BT Sport channels, we did not know for sure they were coming until the actual launch. Remember that? But I and others were very positive at the time that they were coming.

Sometimes, we get things a bit wrong. I admit upfront my most publicised mistake about Sky Atlantic, for example. But there were good indications at the time that it really was coming, and I did get it right about BT Sport, remember.

Unfortunately, it is true that you tend to remembered for your mistakes than your successes.

But when information is being volunteered for no monetary reward, please give us a little bit of leeway. Not all of us are trolling - we just want you to share with the information we are getting and the sense we are making of it.

You and some others continue to be very critical about my posts about the demise of linear TV. But if you go back to my first thread on this a few years ago, some of the comments made by my detractors are now quite laughable. Read it again now, and you will see what I mean.

Please believe me when I say that my posts are legitimate and I just want genuine insight and genuine debate on what may be coming to Virgin Media screens.

If you prefer to read VM press releases to see what is happening, good luck with that.

So, where do you get your information about what's coming to VM, then, MM?

Media Boy is pretty good, but he seems to be keeping all his information to himself!

Maybe you should get yourself a job with Media Boy HQ. I understand they have a magnificant multi-storey air conditioned building! :D

Sorry, that was not be taken as a good employment opportunity...:rofl:

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Well if this comes to fruition it would be a huge step for it to be Netflix as Amazon has been going after some sports rights.

If it's true and it isn't Amazon my gob will be smacked.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Amazon has done a deal to secure NFL football rights for Thursday Night Football, to be distributed globally on Prime.

Just a renewal of the previous Thursday night contract OB.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Shame the games are on at 1.30am!

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

There not usually the best games Thursday night. I Record them now, but used to watch every game shown on sky live.
The reason there on so late is NFL like the game to be shown in prime time in the US. They believe Thursday night is the best night of the week for TV as "Every one is out on Friday and Saturday evening"

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

A friend has a six month Now TV Entertainment pass and a six month Sky Cinema pass. I said i'd ask in here how much he could expect to sell them for on eBay. Anyone know?
