I'm one of the 2 million without Tivo, that is until Friday lunch time. So I've timed all these hopeful changes just right.

I voted for SA, as I would hope that SA arrived on XL subscriptions. It would be nice if Virgin managed to do a deal for it to land on anything from M+ upwards. Considering Sky subscribers have the SD channel regardless of what deal they are on.

Regards Netflix, I could see it being like Spotify Premium and we only get 3-6 months free.

I can't imagine that Virgin would cover £3 for XL subscribers for BT Sports & cover the wholesale cost of Tivo to XL customers as well?

However they may use it all as loss leaders just to get people to sign up for the XL package? Free BTS, SA & Netflix (and Sky Bravo as well if the rumours are true) is a tempting package for anyone deciding between Virgin, Sky & BT.
