Is this confirmation of an imminient arrival on VM?

Sky news is on channel 602 anyway most likely a error , but skynewshd is coming.

Ah sorry PB and ocav I didn't see that before in which case good point:)

With regards to cost I assume the as-is at the moment is vm have to negotiate with every owner of series they put on VOD so not only there is cost of supply but overheads of department, technology, legals etc so on paper it might look expensive netflix in the long run if they have negotiated a cut price for all they probably would look todo the above as netflix is essentially doing the same thing. This plausible the end game is netflix as standard rather than additional cost with presumably SSO with VM accounts to netflix

3D is great, more 3d please whatever the platform.

From the information that I have, VM seem to be the only platform that have shown any interest in taking 3D forward (with more 3D VOD content on it's way).

Discussions have taken place regarding the Sky 3D channel coming to VM. I am not privvy to the outcome of these talks, but it is worth noting that, in an attempt to gain more viewers for the channel, it is now partially unencrypted for more Sky subscribers.

When the channel started, Sky stated that the above was not possible.

If Sky 3D does come to VM, I think it will be the best platform of choice for the niche 3D market.
