It nothing to do with Virgin's STV deal.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)

Amazon would be quite an attraction to customers even if it's not included in a bundled package. I would imagine Virgin would see including Amazon in preparation for the Premier League games that Amazon have next season, as VM can market it as all the PL in one place

I believe Amazon even have a couple of games over the Xmas period this season, so your theory makes sense. Would be great for Virgin to keep all of the football in once place.

Exactly right. The football is on Amazon from 2019/2020 season when the new PL deal starts

Amazon only have one bundle of games.
"Amazon will show 20 Premier League matches a season for three years from 2019, after winning one of the final two broadcast packages.

The online streaming service won the rights to show every game from the first round of midweek fixtures in December and all 10 matches on 26 December as part of a three-year deal"

That's correct. The first time a round of matches will all be shown live in UK. Many might just take a month of subscription in December next year then cancel!

And if the Amazon App appears on the Tivo, then Virgin will still have all the football in once place...not necessarily on one bill

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)

I want to see Amazon Prime added to Virgin without delay. This will be a major advance towards the future and will be a more attractive proposition that will help to retain existing customers and attract new ones.

Also with the Virgin-Amazon deal on new content that was signed back in Feb this year, it would make sense.

All the football in one place, but also new content too.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)

It's still going to cost you to subscribe to Amazon, can't see what all the fuss is about, just another service to pay for!

For those that subscribe already, it's a convenience.
For those that don't, it may tempt them into a trial at least

Premier League yes, but there have been several rounds of mid-week Championship football where all games have been shown live this season.

Yes, but seen in the context of how TV is changing, this is a good move. Sky is bound to do this as well before long, and Virgin cannot afford to be left behind, as this will mean fewer subscribers.

For the present, it will be good news for those of us who subscribe to Amazon Prime because we would be able to bookmark our wishlist programmes to 'My Shows' on the V6.It will also be less confusing for my wife, who doesn't go near my Fire stick!

Bosch and Ozark are next on my list once I've watched the various series I have been following! I've had to prioritise the recordings so I don't run out of disk space!
