Re: Virgin Media for Pubs?
there was a court case going through te high courts from a pub using european satalites they had already lost one case so there must be a law rather than a FA restriction.
Plus alot of the European stations don't have the rights to broadcast in the UK, although as we know technically you can pick up the signal and watch it |

Re: Virgin Media for Pubs?
As far as l am aware, if VM went into pubs, there would be an all mighty row, Sky make an absolute fortune out of pubs, l used to work in my local pub, deep cleaning the kitchen, and they got rid of Sky, as the cost of it per month, say for a example a room say of 15 x 12, Sky charge her £1.200 PER MONTH, as Sky go by the size of the pub, l think if VM went there i think there would be major problems.

Try calling NTL Telewest Business on 0800-052-0800 or www.ntltelewestbusiness.co.uk Also if you have a BT line in the premises, you can choose which calls you would like to route through NTLTelewest or have one of there lines. I am sure they provide services in pubs because the one up from my house has Virgin TV installed. |

Re: Virgin Media for Pubs?
Also Virgin Media could go take the short cut and broadcast programmes from European stations over existing channels such as Virgin 1. Just like they broadcast Jerry springer on Living for example.

Re: Virgin Media for Pubs?

Re: Virgin Media for Pubs?
CNBC have a news channel on Virgin too I think, what ever happened to ABC1?

Re: Virgin Media for Pubs?
CNBC Europe & NBC aint the same channel, NBC is an American network like FOX or CBS. although NBC Nightly News is filmed at NBC's (US) studios CNBC still have to pay rights in order to air it. info on ABC1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC1_(United_Kingdom)

Re: Virgin Media for Pubs?
Just a note on the financials someone worked out - most of the best football is on weekdays not just weekends - champions league etc. plus there are other sports pubs can draw punters in on.
