I believe that Netflix will be offered on a 1 year contract, with the first 6 months free. Of course, this looks to be a better deal than it is as one pays nothing initially. In reality it is a 50% off one year deal.

Nobody I've asked knows anything at all about Baby TV going into XL. I think we can put this down to being a rumour without foundation

Cheapskates I think that this will probably be FTA on all the other platforms, so I wonder which package VM will put it in? (M currently gives you channels 1 to 5 and M+ gives you 1 to 5 and Film 4).

That ties in with what I was told previously. With these two reports, what Premier Sports have put on their social media sites and what Technix has said, I think that the future is looking rosy for those that want Premier Sports (and the Parliamentary Rugby Committee or whatever they're called ).

I wonder if this improved offer by VM will mean a reduction in the standalone subscription charge? How much is it on Sky?
