I like the idea of Sky and VM having negotiated a deal already, but VM have to wait to Sky with NOW TV to gain as many customers as they can, a bit like the BT Sport deal.

It will certainly make 2015 a year to celebrate for VM if they have managed to secure SA and add it to their TV line-up. As someone already stated, this would certainly push their offerings in the same league, maybe even higher than Sky's :-)
Yes, only time will tell!

I forgot to mention that Sky are strengthening their ties with HBO, working jointly with them on new material. That will cost a pretty nice some of money, so I would have thought that Sky would have wanted to recoup some of that as well.

Sky must be having to look carefully at its position with all the financial pressures now building up, particularly with sports, and a deal with Virgin Media would make BT appear to be a less attractive option to potential and existing customers.
