I welcome your reply though. I hope it comes for those who want it, but I think the free BT Sport deal scuppered any chance of it arriving. VM'S TV package with BT sport and Atlantic would, in my eyes, blow Sky's offering out of the water. Good luck, I will be pleased for you if SA arrives and someone comes out and says "it's taken 18 months of painful talks, but we finally got there."
Thanks for that, Harry.

I know that I have said all this before, but you appeared to think that I was ignoring your questions, so regurgitation it was!

You might be right about BT scuppering the whole deal, but the thing is, we have not heard from the media about that one way or the other, so there is still a chance that the original talks have actually come to something. And yes, I do not think it would be unusual for those talks to take 18 months.

Just to be clear to everyone - don't get the idea that I am saying SA is coming at this time. I am just saying that previous media reports have led me to a particular point of view and I think it could be coming imminently.

But I have no confirmation that this is so, and of course I could be wrong. As could all of us on this subject!

The reason is the Now TV box and Sky wishing to give that a good chance to pick up all those VM and other customers who wanted to pay extra to receive Sky Atlantic, and also the Sky Bravo addition to the mix would have delayed these talks.
