Don't know if it's exclusive, but Sky customers are currently getting it for free!

I don't know, Dave. It was reported that Disney+ was subject to an exclusivity deal, but no-one seems to be that sure about that either.

I think Sky would go for that if it kept their rivals out of the picture for a while.

As far as I recall Sky has a year's exclusivity for Discovery+ as a UK TV Platform, but that still means it can be on Mobile/Tablet & via website, it only stops it being on likes of VM and Roku in UK for 12 months.

Apparently, Nat Geographic & Nat Geographic Wild are also due to close in the coming months.

Forty five days before the carriage contracts & sponsorship deals expire there is expected to be a further announcement.

Like the Fox shutdown, it’s already been internally announced and all new programming will go to Disney+.

I wish Disney+ had cards in shops like Netflix and NowTV. Anyhoo, I'm going off topic.

Let me repeat this one more time .l do not have any BT Sports channels . They are not discounted off they are not available. Arranged a deal for premier sports after it was listed as "free" posted this before. Have not spoken to them since happened as it was very clear that should l change it was gone. Wanted it for pro 14 only . If it loses that then back on the phone. sorry tried to work out how to get a screen shot on to this .Guess l will wait until granddaughter is back ( how do l get a URL for a photo on my tablet ? )

Thanks. I knew about that, but it's no use. The whole point, for me, is to avoid using card details, which isn't possible with a digital item.

They have to be physical items to be of interest to me.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2021)

It's probably old news and has been posted before but the replacements for the Sony channels on Virgin Media have been announced.

So, really a cut and paste of "Sony" with "Great!" and business as normal?
