but playing devils advocate how do we know they leaked the news when it happened.
They didn't "leak the news", they announced it in a press release once it had been agreed. It's still there on the VM website.

I just think +1's are a backwards step for technologically innovative companies who are already providing many more flexible ways to catch up with missed shows, and generally in hd. The truth is that +1's are really only a way for channel operators to squeeze a bit more out of their advertising revenues, they're inflexible in that they are still scheduled and don't fit with the "what you want, when you want it" ideals of TiVo and Sky+, or even myBBC, and given the number of repeats and catch up options available to people they don't even really offer something that isn't already available.

IMO.

But I would be genuinely interested in Old Boy's opinion, because he said he welcomed the addition of FOX+.
An innovation id love to see is the ability to record a "link" to the On Demand content when a New Episode is aired - not only would this save hard disk space but also free up a tuner and allow you never to miss an episode of those shows not repeated.

Now I'm getting confused. Was it 17 channels by 2014 or 14 channels by 2017?

I know its kind of vague but saying Sky Customers Only suggests that the channel is available elsewhere.
Clutching at straws time?

All it is saying is don't try and find past seasons online unless you are a Sky customer with a 'compatible device'. There may possibly be contractual issues with HBO which require them to restrict how/where these can be accessed.

+1 channels are more popular than HD.

Just been speaking to a SKY employee, a friend of my wife, who confirmed plenty of rumours at his work in Livingston today. SKY, supposedly, aim to have channels like SKY Atlantic, SKY 1 and SKY Living up and running on NOW TV by the first week of December. It's anticipated that there will be a Christmas push to give those you love at Christmas SKY.

As confirmed today you can buy NOW TV with a 3 month pre-paid SKY Movies subscription. A further rumour today suggested that you will be able to buy NOW TV boxes with a 12 month prepaid subscription to the "SKY basic" channels. I couldn't get a price out of him as he simply didn't know.

SKY Sports News may launch as a free channel on NOW TV for those who miss it from their Freeview line-up.

Whilst this could be nothing more than rumours it's got me thinking that if SKY Atlantic does launch on Virgin, it might not be until after the NOW TV Christmas push.

We will just have to wait and see......
