Ah, that explains it. Thanks blue!

If they can do it with BT Sport and ESPN, I would assume they could reach a similar deal with Netflix. Non-sports fans have lost out for too long and this would be seen, I think, as reasonable compensation for them.

Yes, and if they come during this month, we will all be very happy! I agree that autumn is as close as we can get to a launch date, but as we have seen with Fox +, even dead certainties can end up being delayed inexplicably.
I feel that VM would be best adding linear channels in XL, such as the elusive Sky channels. Netflix feels a little niche?
