I have been told by an insider that the Sky Basic HD Channels may join the TV Size XL package.

100% agree - my insider also confirmed.

For anyone who has XL TV will have all new HD channels at no extra cost (Excl sports and movies - you only need to subscribe to these channels to get SS HD and SM HD no matter what size TV package your on.)

Sorry about that but i thought that someone needed to inject a bit of fun in to this speculation? As Horizon said the Irish competition authority will complete the merger on Saturday, as it has been passed to the Minister who rules within 10 days if they need to have a consultation?
Merger Review Process


The merger review process of the Competition Authority involves:

(i) a review period (Phase 1), following which a determination must be made either to clear the merger or to proceed to a full investigation as described below. The Competition Authority's deadline to make a Phase 1 determination is one month after the appropriate date (as defined in section 19(6) of the Competition Act, 2002) or 45 days if any of the undertakings which have made the notification submits proposals to the Competition Authority.

(ii) a full investigation (Phase 2) if, after the Phase 1 investigation, the Competition Authority is unable to conclude that the proposed transaction will not lead to a substantial lessening of competition in any market for goods or services in the State. The Competition Authority's deadline to make a Phase 2 determination is four months after the appropriate date. Within this deadline, the Competition Authority must determine whether to clear the merger (with or without conditions) or prohibit the merger.

The appropriate date from which the above deadlines are calculated is normally the date of notification. However, this changes to a later date if the Competition Authority issues within one month from the date of notification a formal requirement to the merging parties to provide further information.

These deadlines do not change even if the period incorporates or ends on public holidays, bank holidays or Sundays.
