Thanks for rumour.

I think its Wednesday they are announcing there plans for the ps4 service ,it won't officially launch till after ps4 launch date
One would expect it will be to generate interest or maybe for preorder of the ps4 services

I think it's even less likely now. Sky have just announced that for £4.99 a month, through NowTV you can get Sky 1, Sky Atlantic, Sky Living, Sky Arts 1, Discovery, MTV, Gold, Disney and Fox. No contract needed.

They are going to want to push that even more now.

[Edit] and all of the box set on demand stuff too inc SA

That's a pretty good package they have put together for this. They are certainly being aggressive with the pricing and this could be an interesting shake up for the suppliers. I do notice this is only marked as "Introductory pricing" so it will be interesting to see if they raise the price later on. I know with the movie service they had to reduce the price as it was too high.

I think it means it's more likely SA will come to virgin media now

1) SA is no longer exclusive to the sky platform so sky lose out on their exclusive statement they loved harping on in adverts to get virgin media customers

2) the now tv package is tailored for short term customers who want cheap pricing and no contract. It's a different customer compared to the virgin media customer who's fixed into a contract usually paying probably ten x that amount.

Sky are opening up sky Atlantic to different customers now. It would make sense for it to come to virgin media now

Whether it does is another thing

It will arrive in the coming weeks so a little bit more patience and we will have it.

It's all a question of interpretation - after all, NowTV is a Sky platform. I'm sure they could still claim exclusivity in some form if they want to. £4.99 is very good, and shows that they have learnt the lessons of their movie launch.

That £4.99 Now TV package plus Freeview would cover 95% of my TV watching so it's quite tempting. Probably time I called retentions...
