The BBC have picked up the Netflix story:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24024364
"The BBC understands that Virgin may offer Netflix as part of a bundled service."
It looks like Netflix may become part of XL?
BT Sport and Netflix in XL, that would be huge. SKY will be watching this very closely.
It looks like Virgin might be building a cost effective Sport and Movie offering to rival the expensive premium services on offer from SKY.
As stated earlier if Netflix does go into XL, SKY would be mad to give up their exclusive channels to Virgin. If Virgin get access to SKY Atlantic and some of the missing HD channels, why would anyone choose SKY? **
** I mean anyone who lives in a cabled area that can choose between both services.
