It will be for the best, but their are HUGE changes afoot!!!!

Before the new crew arrived, VM had already said that the aim was to go towards shows stored in the cloud. I seem to recall reading that rights issues were one of the major hold ups in implementing that in places that have tried it. Given VM's track record with the rights issues with MRS, I think it could be a while.

It has nothing to do with how you view your programs i.e. cloud or streaming etc. but there are big big changes heading this way. Not just for VM customers but ALL subscription tv packages. Remember both Sky and BT have both said either game changer or our biggest season yet. It is not only about Sports subscriptions either but the whole subscription TV market.

Can't say nothing more though.

I love cinnamon, so yes I would probably do that. OK, a teaspoon of cinnamon powder if the latest Bomber news turns out to be accurate.

It is Sky Sports News HD and Sky Atlantic both HD and SD.

Not sure about the others.

As part of the XL package!!!!!

What I said here isn't actually true. But if you look at what I said in another post about big changes afoot a part of this will see all HD channels that are on Sky available to VM. So where you have the Sky channels if there is a HD channel you will also get the HD channel to go with it. This will start to be implemented and should be complete within the next 2 years. Ambiguous I know but watch this space.

Strange as it may sound but if I let the cat out of the bag then it wouldn't happen. These changes are not until over 3 years +, so you wont notice anything straight away but in say 10 years time the way we subscribe to TV will be very different.

[matt_home1]

are you alluding that sky will be split in to production and distribution, with a set price for all distributors wanting to pick up the shows? thus virgin and sky will pay the same for the rights?
