Yes, I've read another report that says it is not yet known whether or not Virgin will carry the channel. Guess we'll just have to be patient.

Well we have been patient for years old boy.:)

Examples of streaming services on Roku that we don't have on the Tivo are Cinema Now, 247 Retro Television and Movies, Russia Today Europe, Docu, Amazon Prime, Science & Tech, Time, The Movie Channel, etc, etc.

But VM could be doing their own deals. We already have streaming services such as Clubland AKA, Worldbox and Tiddlers TV so I am sure other deals appealing to a wider audience are possible. It would be good to have something from one of the big beasts in the US, such as abc, CBS or NBC, or maybe an Australian channel.

If BT can negotiate a deal with the likes of AMC, I'm sure Virgin can do so too. Liberty Global also have content of their own that they don't seem to want to share with us!!

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

That is unlikely as their primetime shows are sold individually to other channels in the UK; all the decent ones already have a UK broadcaster.

Not sure about Australian drama. Not sure how good it really is? They tend to fill their networks with US & UK imports.

If VM really did want a HBO type Network, Why didn't they do a deal with Showtime, which Sky did a few months ago?

Of those channels on Roku, excluding Amazon, Netflix and Now TV, how often do you actually watch them?

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Well, there are hundreds of services available on the Roku, and I am suggesting that VM take the quality streaming services.

It is true that rights to current shows get sold to UK channels already, but the same is true for BT's AMC channel. The library of the non first run shows are still worth having.

With a bit of imagination, VM could give us a nice little choice of both streaming and conventional channels that its competitors don't have. And I still believe that it is possible to bring Now TV and Sky Store to the VM box. That would provide a more level playing field with Sky.

Sky sports and movies is increasing by £3.50 a week from June 1st for VM customers sky sports will increase to £32.75 a month and movies will increase to £23.75

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

£3.50 a week?.:shocked::shocked:

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Just a ridiculous amount of money now

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

If that's true £3.50 a week is utterly ridiculous and l can see many saying enough is enough you greedy buggers.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

well bye bye sky sports at end of current football season here

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

Presumably £3.50 per month.
But I don't think we know how much and when VM's prices for Sky Sports will rise until VM says so.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
 

I should have said month it was a typo sorry!

To avoid any further confusion sky sports will increase £3.50 a month on June 1st
