So we think Premier Sports is coming to VM. If its a standalone subscription i cant see many signing up. Is it £9.99 pm on Sky for ONE SD channel? doesnt represent good value to me.

Netflix is coming but again the feeling is this will be subscription based- £5.99 pm we assume. This is the same price as Netflix on other platforms - i have Netflix available on my Roku and my Blu-Ray but have never tried it as i am put off by the price. Again i wonder how many VM subscribers will pay for this service and how many NEW subscribers Netflix will attract ?

To me it would be far more sense to have a deal to include them in a higher pack like XL. the channels would have more viewers, the channels get greater revenue and VM increase the value of its top tier packages and get better subscriptions.

Now dont get me wrong - i dont expect everything at no extra cost but if these services were added to XL for example- also add the other channels rumoured to be coming soon:

Sky1 +1
Sky Atlantic
Sky Atlantic +1
Sky Atlantic HD
Sky News HD
Sky Sports F1 HD
Sky Sports 3 HD
Sky Sports 4 HD
Sky Sports News HD

Channel 4 +1 HD

Disney Channel HD
Disney XD HD

FOX +

MGM HD

Sony Movie Channel

News 18

Universal Channel HD

Then if VM increased the price of XL by say i dont know £5pm for many it would still represent good value - i think it would. And VM may find more people 'trade up' to XL in turn increasing their revenue and therefore making the deal for Netflix/Premier Sports etc better.
