UK Netflix (i.e. via Tivo) still won't have access to those. Other Netflix regions have Blue Bloods, The Borgias, House of Lies and The Following.

i think netflix will be good for the people can't afford sky moives or don't wont sky moives.
also with BT sport on xl pack and the rumor that netflix will be included will give people good reason not to go to sky.

could netflix replace Virgin On Demand which went from been a major selling point of VM and then overtaken by Sky on Demand. By taking on Netflix you essentially outsourcing your on Demand offering and Virgin movies

Actually Virgin are quite close the Atlantic. Any coastal roads in the south all the way to the south of Wales border the Atlantic. MAYBE THIS IS A SECRET MESSAGE THAT SKY ATLANTIC IS COMING SOON TO VIRGIN?

Said this before, and nobody responded. I think it's viable but they would have to keep on demand for Sky Movies Subscribers, Sky On Demand etc, it would only be back catalogue stuff they would have to replace.

Most BBC shows on Virgin OD (not catch up) are already on Netflix so the content will be duplicated.

That's been discussed before and seems like a good plan to me. I wonder how much the on demand content costs them compared to the price they could get Netflix for?

Surely the problem is that VoD is free to XL customers mostly but Netflix will be an extra charge or have I missed summat?

virgin on demand was truly groundbreaking to begin with. Had so many good shows etc before sky got jealous and went after the HBO stuff to spite virgin media.

Getting netflix as the replacement on demand service would make a lot of sense.

No doubt sky would try to buy netflix to again spite UK customers like a petulent child.

The SD and HD channels of Universal and Syfy will carry on as now.
I'm will be very surprised at this if it goes ahead. Other channel operators seem to be exiting from the 3D market.

I've recently changed my tv service to sky 3d, I watch loads of 3d, and MGM HD, I ain't watched any SA HD at all everytime I flick on to it it's usually a load of rubbish on there.
3D is great, more 3d please whatever the platform.

I don't know whether this is over reading the situation but just seen an advert on Sky News which finished "only on Sky News HD" and showed channel number for Virgin 602 alongside Sky 501

Is this confirmation of an imminient arrival on VM?
