The people that reply to on Face book only have the words "May", "Future" "Coming" and "Soon" at their disposal. Anything they say should be taken with a pinch of salt...or rather dismissed.

I think Mike knows something

Given that VM added Netflix, and didn't see it as a conflict, I think the same applies to Prime, so not to be dismissed IMHO.

For those who would want to use it often, I'd still buy a Fire TV/Stick or Roku to view it on, rather than the current Tivo.

I wonder whether Sky will ever add any of these services to its Q box ?

Or is it to much of a competing service to their own offerings , the box currently has Vevo and Youtube with other online video.

Will the Amazon Prime app be the same as the version available on all other connected devices with a PPV offering.

Now now PB less of the speculation.

I'm not speculating personally, I'm just saying that the speculations of those thinking that Prime may come, are potentially plausible

denphone · 08-04-2016, 15:03

Well as we know anything is plausible on this forum including someone eating their hat if such and such arrived.

I wouldn't be surprised to see netflix added to SKYQ. Didn't they say they wanted the Q to be the main streaming and tv box? or something like that lol.

Netflix won't be coming to Sky full stop.

That's what I've always said.

Although the link below shows Murdoch's Australian pay TV business could consider adding it , different markets I know but it's maybe not as clear cut as I originally thought.

Maybe not coming to my tv via VM, but just picked up a bargain on eBay!. Black Now Tv box, with three month pass for 14.99! That's me set up, since dropping XL pack.

Don't forget that you get a two week free trial if you're a new customer. You need to activate this before adding your pass.

I know of someone who was caught out like this, so after his pass ran out he set up a duplicate account with another name and credit card number to be on the safe side.

I believe that he's done this a few times ;-)
