Thirded.

Thing is sky don't need access to vm cable network, their distribution platform is over satellite, so cable wouldn't feature in that.. And sky are also selling bt FTTC which we have also established suffers from lower jitter, and has a higher upload than vm currently offer. Only unmatched part at the moment is download speed.

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

As I've said the platform will become a moot point , in the next year or two all Sky's content will be available on a multitude of devices to all and in HD , a Now TV Sky Movie sub costs £15.00 a month which is £1.00 cheaper than on the Sky platform itself with entertainment and sport to follow. Now TV is only in early launch stages currently Sky have already stated it will go HD with bookmarking across devices with many more devices added.

It's a smart move by SKY. Here is an interesting announcement:

http://corporate.sky.com/media/press...f_sky_channels

So Now TV will be available to Talk Talk customers. Previous announcements also confirm Now TV will be available via BT Vision and Smart enabled TV's. I'm amazed that competitors of SKY are embracing NOW TV on their platform.

The big question now is will SKY Now also launch on Virgin as a TiVo app? It's cheaper to take SKY Now than it is to actually subscribe to SKY Movies on Virgin. Will Virgin be interested in SKY Now? I don't see this being to their advantage. You'd have Virgin customers paying to watch SKY movies directly to SKY on the Virgin platform. Surely Virgin wouldn't be happy with this.

As a Virgin customer, would you want access to SKY Now on your TiVo box? Would you be happy paying less than you currently do for SKY Movies?

Oh as an after thought this announcement seems to finally confirm 100% that SKY are indeed with holding SKY Atlantic from their competition.

That is pretty much how it is anyway. As far as I understand it, Virgin make no (or very little) money on the Sky Premium channels

I'd expect for most people the issue will be video quality, and access to the Premieres.

The latest films on NOW TV are PPV on top of the £15, whereas they'll be included in the Sky Movies subscription

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

That's not true the latest films (PPV) are the Sky Store/SkyBox Office Movies the Sky Movies pass includes the latest Sky Movie premieres just as on Sky/VM.

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

Fair enough - I misunderstood the reviews then

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

The only role I can see for Now TV on VM is the Sky Atlantic part. Wheather Sky would be prepared to hive that off as a separate app is very questionable.

Re: Sky Sports & Movies price increases
 

As we've seen before, SKY will withhold content until such time it's to their benefit to release it. SKY's motivation isn't always money either.

Virgin sell SKY VMTV and hey presto SKY linear channels in HD plus SKY Anytime. Talk Talk make Now TV available and hey presto they finally get access to almost all of SKY's linear SD channels plus SKY Movies and SKY Sports.

So will it be hey presto to SKY Atlantic if Virgin allow Now TV to launch on TiVo?
