Now we know why we didn't get the Sony Movie channel.

I posted what I was told Sky wanted for SA on here yonks ago. I can't remember the exact figures, but basic channels cost VM a few pennies per customer per week and SA was something like 30p a week.
Sounds cheap, but for VM it all added up.

One way VM are making customers upgrade is the V6. If PB and everyone else want a V6, they will have to upgrade from the M/Player package.

There's a lot of duplication of channels available on VM within the entertainment pack, I can't see VM wanting to make it available as a Tivo app. On balance we see more people on here complaining about price increases than the lack of Sky Atlantic. Adding a service that duplicates some of what is already available in a lower cost package would just be giving Sky a free advert to attract VM customers wanting a cheaper deal.
As for a Now TV app specifically tailored to VM and excluding sports and movies. That's not what Now TV is about and there are 2 problems on that front; VM won't want it potentially stealing their customers. Sky won't want to offer a reduced package, their marketing policy is to get Now TV users to add the other packs.

Lots used to complain about the lack of SA, but I think that they've now resigned themselves to the fact that it won't be coming.
