Any proof that BT will get Sky Atlantic PB because from what l know there is not a hope in hells chance of them getting it anytime soon.:)

Re: Is BT a threat to VIrginmedia
 

Bt won't be getting Atlantic. They want to be Sky's biggest competitor, Sky have no interest in helping them in to that position. Indeed, at the moment youview from talk talk is a better product than youview from Bt simply because they have the Sky channels.

For someone who is a confirmed staunch Sky supporter you seem to be somewhat cuddling up to BT lately and perhaps you can give us more of a lowdown on what you think might be happening in the next 6 months? Telly as you seem to be well in the know with regards to this.:)

Re: Is BT a threat to VIrginmedia
 

Well, Marketing usually are told in advance....;)

btw, less of the 'fanboy', please.

Re: Is BT a threat to VIrginmedia
 

Telly, is your suggestion that Atlantic will be on youview based on the likely addition of now TV app?

Of course it is laying new fibre optical cable, buying prem league rights and launching a sports channel big moves. Also adding more channels to there tv over the years and looking to add more and more. Then more cheddar to play with.

There looking pretty strong. Will have to see what happens in the next 12 months and into the future.

Will be interesting to see how BT sports goes.

It could still be available on BT Vision STBs without BT and Sky ever doing a wholesale deal for the channel!

Re: Is BT a threat to VIrginmedia
 

Well we shall see but it is highly unlikely in my mind Lex.

Re: Is BT a threat to VIrginmedia
 

It will available on Youview via Now TV won't it , BT's future STB will be Youview.

Re: Is BT a threat to VIrginmedia
 

BT Vision customers or BT broadband customerd signing up for the Youview package will both be able to subscribe to Sky Now so they will actually have access.

Partnering with Youview was a shrewd business move by Sky as it now 1) reduces its wholesale reliance on VM and 2) reduces the threat of Youview to Skys own platform as now anyone entering Youview as a pay tv provider has to compete with Sky.

Re: Is BT a threat to VIrginmedia
 

apart from the speed upgrade (had to do because of BT infinity) and the few 3rd rate HD channels added wot have VM done i for one have not seen anything new except price increases.

Re: Is BT a threat to VIrginmedia
 

Just be patient and l am sure things will come and the second point is has not Sky and BT put their prices up as well.

Re: Is BT a threat to VIrginmedia
 

Why are every one SO concerned that BT will move ahead of Virgin ? If the offer a better package in the future MOVE. News flash. You are not obliged to use them.

How many of you have the same power suppliers as you did say five years ago.
Do you only ever buy the same goods,no matter what the deal offered?
Me I have no brand loyalty, I Follow the money/service. This year we have flown with BA, Virgin & TUI this depended on what the package is. Have problem with this "blind" devotion to the Virgin brand. ( staff members accepted)
