Just a shame the pudding doesn't come with cream (ie Sky Atlantic).

When Nick says in the coming months, do you think that means 2 or 12 or somewhere in between?

No we have clotted cream in Devon.

That's awesome news really.
Moves VM's on demand offering even further ahead of Sky's so I'm really surprised by this.
Anytime I could see, but Anytime+ as well? That's just amazing. I guess they're trying to preempt the competition commission's decision, they can turn around and say "what you on about? We already offer them the on demand rights!" now.

But it has to arrive first and we do not have any date for that unless the great one ( MM ) knows something seeing he's close to the dark lord.

But will they offer HD?

Only some PPV movies are HD on Sky Anytime+. If they do allow VM access to HD VOD content, I bet that Â£7 Sky HD charge will come into play.

For Sports and Movies yeah otherwise it would be a workaround for those who don't pay the fee. Don't see them charging for the others though.

Just checked my Sky Anytime , I have 13 movies available all HD. What I can't understand about Sky giving Anytime+ is the service on Sky isn't available to non Sky BB subscribers so there will be a lot of peeved Sky TV customers me being one of them.

Are they PPV movies? (I'm working on a big update for my PVR Document, just trying to get the details correct).

I can kinda understand why Sky are doing that, they can control Quality of Service on their own network (ditto BT Vision requiring BT Broadband). Still, they'll have to open it up to other ISPs at some point (or maybe use BT's fibre network, if BT let them)

We have a "next few months" that's good enough for me. As long as it's here for Christmas I'll be happy because I never expected this to happen.

Exactly, for many people the best way to get Anytime+ will be to switch to VM? It's strange, but yet exciting!

They're movies from the movie channels, within the 15month exclusivity window that Sky get on them after the 45day PPV window.

Cheers for that.

This is very welcome, but about time! Now all we need is Sky Atlantic, or at least access via on demand to these programmes.

Broadcast: Virgin strikes deal for Sky 1 and Living on-demand content.

Here is part of the story from pay web site Broadcast:

The deal is understood to initially include around 100 hours of content, which will start to be made available this autumn. The Sky content will sit in Virgin’s TV Choice archive rather than form part of its catch-up section.
