Re: £3 TV increase but BT Sport Europe is "free"
 

Now TV is available on other Devices, not Platforms.

Roku doesn't offer it's own pay TV service

LG doesn't offer it's own pay TV service

Apple TV doesn't offer it's own pay TV service

Virgin Media on Tivo does.

Re: £3 TV increase but BT Sport Europe is "free"
 

exactly SA is not on any other platform because sky wont let anyone else have it like they used to withhold all the other channels OB you to complain about sky about

Re: £3 TV increase but BT Sport Europe is "free"
 

I have not seen any evidence to suggest that your entirely factual post is the reason why Now TV is not available on VM.

I suspect that non inclusion is Virgin's decision, not Sky's.

Well, I thought that's what you'd say, Dave, but do you have any links or other supporting evidence to corroborate your comment, or is this simply your presumption?

Re: £3 TV increase but BT Sport Europe is "free"
 

wrong why is it not on any other platform OB answer sky wont let anyone have it at all just need to look at sky history of withholding channels there is your answer

but as MM righty pointed out no use BT complaining to Ofcom about it as they doing the same thing

Re: £3 TV increase but BT Sport Europe is "free"
 

BT doesn't need to complain, Dave; OFCOM are looking into exclusivity deals applicable to pay-TV, and not too soon, IMHO.

Incidentally, the absence of Sky Atlantic/Now TV on TV platforms as opposed to other devices doesn't prove that Sky are withholding it from TV platforms.

From Sky's point of view, why would they? We can all get Now TV by other means of we want to, as I and many others have. It would just be more convenient for the user to have it all on one box.

The evidence is deductive common sense.

Re: £3 TV increase but BT Sport Europe is "free"
 

same reason as they withheld all the other channels before OB mate they don't want anyone else to have SA simple as that and as I said before sky believe SA makes people join sky even though SA viewing figures prove that wrong

Re: £3 TV increase but BT Sport Europe is "free"
 

Please explain.

Re: £3 TV increase but BT Sport Europe is "free"
 

SA has low viewing figures vast majority of sky customers don't watch it if people joined sky just for SA it would have good viewing figure not low ones like it has

Quality content (in whatever medium), usually gets smaller audiences. As per quality verses tabloid papers.

Sky obviously value it's draw as premium content

Re: £3 TV increase but BT Sport Europe is "free"
 

Got any data to back that up?

Re: £3 TV increase but BT Sport Europe is "free"

barb figures but not checked for a good while they might have improved a bit

Re: £3 TV increase but BT Sport Europe is "free"
 

To be honest I can take or leave GOT , personally I've watched tons of shows off Atlantic and to be honest it probably one of the main reasons Sky still get my money. Even if I decide to leave in the future I'll still sub to Now TV mainly for this channel.

To be perfectly honest I never concern myself with viewing figures the contents either good or not , I've watched a few poor shows on there but overall it keeps us subscribing.

Most popular Sky Atlantic programme was, surprise surprise, GoT, which got just over 2 million viewers, about a fifth of all Sky TV subscribers.

Re: £3 TV increase but BT Sport Europe is "free"
 

Blue Bloods is a US, Network TV, procedural cop show; it belongs on Sky Living. Really don't know why Sky choose to put it on Atlantic. And that's not an insult to the show itself.
