You may choose to disbelieve what is going on out there, Den, but much of my prediction in this respect is in line with the industry view.
I didn't say there was no rubbish on Netflix. I said there was a better balance, with a lot of good quality original shows.

Well, yet again you are failing to recall that my prediction is for 20 years' time.

I am sure that VM would have taken Sky Atlantic like a shot if it was offered on reasonable terms. I seem to recall, Sky wanted VM to pay for a big proportion of their setting up and production costs, which is not how this normally works.
The fact that we are likely to get the channel in SD only is surely evidence that Sky are seeking to maintain an advantage. Why on Earth would VM want to take a prestige channel like Sky Atlantic in SD only? I have little doubt that this is Sky and their nasty little tricks. |
We'll have to agree to disagree on this as vm aren't as innocent as they make out, i'm surprised anyone wants to do business with them tbh with they way vm constantly go crying to ofcom.
I'm not defending SKY but i don't think SKY are entirely to blame for SA not being on vm.
I've said it many times vm messed up by selling their channels i know vm got a load of HD etc but money would of talked there and vm would of still had channels to use as leverage.
If SKY were really this spiteful nasty monster some claim then why are the rest of the SKY channels on vm, SKY could easily of said "no thankyou" but they didn't.
Same as some shout BT are a nasty spiteful monster, if they are then why did they allow vm to have BTsport in xl pack?
The reality is SKY,VM,BT etc are as bad as each other and need their heads banging together.
Ultimately with all their bickering it ends up being us the consumer that pays for it.
