New Rumour:

My Rumour poster has told me a deal has been struck between Sky and Virgin for Sky Atlantic and Sky Atlantic HD.

Both are expected to launch at some point in the Autumn possibly as early as end of October.

Sky Atlantic will be in the M+ package with Sky Atlantic HD being in the XL pack.

These will launch at same time as the other Sky channels aka Sky News HD etc.

Updates an other Rumour poster think Sky Atlantic will only launch on Virgin Media when Sky Atlantic launches on 'Now TV'.

It seems to me that the rumour poster department is getting confused as one says something different from the other.:)

This thread has perked up no end recently. I used to be an occasional visitor. Now I'm a daily visitor. I might seriously consider becoming an hourly visitor if these rumours get much juicier.

WSJ is reporting that Netflix are now in talks with several US cable operators to put their app on stbs in deals similar to those they've announced with Virgin and Com hem in Sweden. An interesting point to note is that there appears to have been a recent carriage dispute between one of the cable companies (comcast I think) and cbs. The report suggests that if a deal with Netflix had already been in place it would have given the cable company greater leverage in the negotiations because they would have been able to point their customers in the direction of all the cbs content they carry through their association with Netflix.

It's something I hadn't considered, but I wonder if the inclusion of Netflix on Virgin's platform will put them in a stronger position when it comes to negotiating carriage agreements with channels who's content is also available through the app?

Another interesting development today is the Canadian Government will soon require TV providers in the country to offer viewers the ability to pick and choose channels rather than being forced to take bundles of channels.
