Not sure but i think EE tv is mostly app based content but my point to Dave was in a way EE are carrying Sky Atlantic so he can't keep harping on that Sky don't want anyone to have it as the options are there for none SKY customers to access it via nowtv ok still SKY but my point still remains, if SKY were withholding it they wouldn't include it on nowtv.
Having an app for Now TV in SD and no direct deal for wholesale of Sky's channels is somewhat different from a wholesale agreement for Sky Atlantic.

The evidence that Sky's asking price for Sky Atlantic being unviable is that no companies have signed deals with Sky. TalkTalk hasn't. Magnet and Eir in Eire hasn't. And when they were not part of Virgin Media, Smallworld and UPC Ireland hadn't either. So bags of evidence to support megaposter denphone I'm afraid.

Agreed. Fox will have a big loan to pay off as they are not issuing shares to buy Sky. They will want Sky to be as profitable as possible to help pay the debt off.
