-An insider says Fox+ may also launch on Tuesday.

I have recently been thinking of downgrading to M+ from XL as there are only two film channels that I would miss, horror channel being one of them, so this is good news
I do think that channels that are FTA elsewhere should really be in M or M+. I could always rig up my ex sub Sky box to receive the channels, but being on the VM EPG is much more convenient and allows me to record programmes too.
Has anyone got any experience with rigging up a TiVo, a Sky box and the Freeview capabilities a digital TV. Is it difficult to do?

Before the Sky Basics dispute, Sky News had a better position on channel 601. As soon as the Sky channels were pulled, VM immediately put BBC News onto the more favourable EPG slot that Sky used to have.
When the Sky channels returned, Sky News had to return on EPG number 602.
As I said a few weeks ago, now that BBC News is to start in HD, I believe that Sky want to steal a march on the new BBC HD News channel. If Sky manage to get their HD News on VM before the BBC does, this means that they will be the first on air and hope to attract and retain viewers. They will also get the better EPG slot.
If Sky did not facilitate the addition of Sky News HD on VM, there is a very good chance that viewers of Sky News SD would defect to BBC News HD.
For the same reasons above, I also believe that there is a very real chance of Sky News HD coming to freeview and/or going FTA on satellite.

HDfootyman has recently seen Netflix being briefly tested on the VM website, so it looks like it's on It's way
