Good news for VM viewers because Sky will no longer keep these good dramas away from the Virgin platform. So we’ll no longer have to subscribe to NOW just to see the dramas that are exclusive to Sky Atlantic.

Max should be available on the Virgin platform from the start, and this will include Discovery+ material, also missing from Virgin currently.

Don’t expect anything great in respect of the TV channels. Any news will be about rebrandings, channel closures and shopping channels going HD - oh, and lots of those dreadful FAST channels that few people watch!
We'll save by not having to pay for Now TV, though I get plenty of good offers. Best Entertainment offer (for Sky Atlantic) £1 and the best for Sky Cinema was free!

Trouble is, we'll have to subscribe to HBO and I bet that it won't be available for £1 a month.

Having said that, HBO is the only streaming service that has remotely caught my interest.

The forthcoming shopping channel showcasing cruises is also something that I will find interesting and possibly useful if any can accommodate my disabilities.
