So they didn't discover some technical issue until the day of launch and now all of a sudden it could be delayed for several months, missing the crucial build up to Christmas and the massively hyped launch of The Grand Tour too

Whose to say that it's a technical snag?
It might be a contractual problem or something.
Does seem daft for them not to pull out all the stops to get it on before Christmas though.
Someone joining via the addition to VM is probably more likely to buy their Christmas things from Amazon because of the free postage.

No info on snag we are trying to get information, we think it could be down to old tivo speed issues so Amazon want to wait until new tivo is rolling out properly.

To be honest I don't blame amazon, launching anything on this box is bad idea, even amazon have no faith in the TiVo box that's bad

Anything other than a technical issue, at such a late stage (the day of launch) would be pretty ridiculous given discussions started over 2 and a half years ago!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
Amazon have a new fire stick due in the next few weeks, and I am sure they must have a HDR box up their sleeves as well, I would have been very surprised if Amazon Prime had launched on a big delivery system like VM this side of Christmas, it doesn't make commercial sense.

Good points and before we criticise VM too much, we only have one unnamed source claiming it was going to launch yesterday.
Let's see if VM announced anything on the 30th or maybe an astute journalist will ask the question then.

I think the pay tv providers are changing there stance now on streaming services , Netflix has been added to Comcasts X1 platform within the last week or so which is a pretty big deal.

Can't see Sky having Netflix or Amazon though.
