It's anticipated that there will be a Christmas push to give those you love at Christmas SKY.

As confirmed today you can buy NOW TV with a 3 month pre-paid SKY Movies subscription. A further rumour today suggested that you will be able to buy NOW TV boxes with a 12 month prepaid subscription to the "SKY basic" channels. I couldn't get a price out of him as he simply didn't know.

SKY Sports News may launch as a free channel on NOW TV for those who miss it from their Freeview line-up.

Whilst this could be nothing more than rumours it's got me thinking that if SKY Atlantic does launch on Virgin, it might not be until after the NOW TV Christmas push.

We will just have to wait and see......
Well, given the time of year, it wouldn't surprise me if they delayed SA to try and push NOW TV.

As for Atlantic, I hope it comes for those who want it. However, I still could not care one way or the other.
I totally agree with all your sentiments there.

Now Music TV continue to peddle their nonsense that their service will not be on VM as VM have no spare capacity. Despite being told that this is not true, they are still spouting this nonsense to the public.

I think that this erroneous information may have implications upon the business and standing of VM, so I have taken steps to correct this. I'll let everybody know when I get to know anything else
