Why would they try to kill off ESPN? They've been accommodating to Sky and unlike Setanta and BT, they've bid alongside them instead of against them.

Maybe Sky just are that Sly.

Well in this particular case I would say no as VM sold their channels willingly to Sky. However if the rumours are true about what happened with the NFL talks for this coming season then that is Sky abusing its market position.

If you don't know what happened apparently it has been suggested that Sky told the NFL it would not bid on any packages if ESPN were awarded anything that is why we have the ridiculouse situation with what the BBC are doing.

I would have thought Sky would see NFL or any sport on terrestrial as more worrying than on another pay TV channel , Sky and ESPN have coexisted together for a while now.

Its probably more like a uneasy alliance one suspects.

Thought this would fit better under TV Anywhere than the TV thread

As part of the rebrand of Filmflex to Virgin Movies - the online rental site http://onlinemovies.virginmedia.com/ has gained the ability to download rented movies for offline viewing on a PC or Mac

I can fully control my Samsung SmartTV using my mobie phone, I just have to be on the same network as it.

So I guess the Tivo would go down the same route, but it would need to be connected to a router

As the US TiVo requires this, and the TV Anywhere app is based on the US app then yes, you'll need to have your TiVo connected to a router for it to work
