Now TV is only in early launch stages currently Sky have already stated it will go HD with bookmarking across devices with many more devices added.

It's a smart move by SKY. Here is an interesting announcement:
http://corporate.sky.com/media/press...f_sky_channels
So Now TV will be available to Talk Talk customers. Previous announcements also confirm Now TV will be available via BT Vision and Smart enabled TV's. I'm amazed that competitors of SKY are embracing NOW TV on their platform.
The big question now is will SKY Now also launch on Virgin as a TiVo app? It's cheaper to take SKY Now than it is to actually subscribe to SKY Movies on Virgin. Will Virgin be interested in SKY Now? I don't see this being to their advantage. You'd have Virgin customers paying to watch SKY movies directly to SKY on the Virgin platform. Surely Virgin wouldn't be happy with this.
As a Virgin customer, would you want access to SKY Now on your TiVo box? Would you be happy paying less than you currently do for SKY Movies?
Oh as an after thought this announcement seems to finally confirm 100% that SKY are indeed with holding SKY Atlantic from their competition.
