Silliness aside though we have been given a rumour that vm could launch a ultimate sports package where you can subscribe to skysports, box nation, bt sport, racing uk, eurosport, premiersport, at the races under 1 simple package.
No pricing has been given but we think it'll be around about £60p/m.

SKY have no say in bt sport, premier sport, racing uk, eurosport.
I think SKY own at the races though not sure.
SKY atlantic is available to anyone with a broadband connection via nowtv so in a way they are letting anyone have it.

Think it may have been extended when BT Sport Europe was added. Doubt they would take it out of the XL pack as it would make it far less attractive.

You can get it on EETV which offers Now TV.

It will be interesting to see if Vodafone's forthcoming TV platform offers NowTV too.

There is nothing to stop VM from offering Now TV on the TIVO, just as EETV have done.

It was interesting to note that in the week Amazon Prime announced that AMC's latest show Preacher will be on the streaming service NOT on BT's AMC channel. So, we're not missing anything but not having that channel, if you can call it a channel at all, part time evening service more like.

I think because Sony co-produced it, AMC does not get to exploit overseas sales, that's up to Sony. Good reason for VM to get Prime onto Tivo.

We don't know except S4C HD will launch when it screens its first Euro 2016 match. (and will then go off air until the next match is shown).

We don't know that for sure. Remember, EETV does not offer the Sky channels directly unlike VM and TalkTalk. TalkTalk used to offer NowTV but Sky or TalkTalk pulled the plug on the venture. (The standard Movies on-demand service remains on TalkTalk but not the live channels).
