By that do you mean an extra cost implemented by Virgin, or the normal subscription cost that Amazon charge?

l would say it will be the same type of thing Netflix do on the V6 where one is charged directly on a month by month subscription basis.

I cant see an obvious issue with VM adding Amazon. I's effectively the same as Netflix, with different content. Netflix can't have affected VM's TV subscriptions, otherwise it would no longer be there. Amazon, like Netflix, only have a few first run weekly shows; it's mainly back seasons, or shows that have never had a UK pickup. Pay TV is about current shows. OTOH Now TV is competition in that it shows lots of current shows

Is this for the app only, or for Amazon TV to be available at no extra cost?

It's a tricky one tbf with Amazon moving towards a live tv service too.

Included with top package mate but the app will be available for lower packs for the normal prime/video fee.
But if Amazon are moving into live tv too it could become a lot more complex.

Can't see what all the fuss is about then, I mean, you can get those apps on most smart TV's anyway! It would have been really good news if Virgin were to include Amazon, in say, one of the top packages, but to have a discussion about a measly app for the V6 is trivial to say the least.

Provided Virgin enabled the Now TV Entertainment Pass for those on the Full House pack only, I see no conflict there. It would give Virgin subscribers the means to access Sky Atlantic via the VM platform, which would certainly stop the wingeing on this forum.

Face it OB with the packages as they are it's never going to happen, nearly all Virgins packages include the Sky channels with the exception of Sky Atlantic. The only way Sky Atlantic will arrive is when Sky decide it's time to reach a commercial arrangement with VM.

It will use Sky Channel 303 (Sky Cinema Hits EPG Slot on Sky).

But channel number is still not 100% confirmed for Virgin Media UK and Virgin Media Ireland.

We have still to see any info on when Sky Cinema Matt Demon will end.
