Sky Store brings 1000+ on-demand movies to Sky Anytime+ | whathifi.com - 0 views

  •  
    Sky Store brings 1000+ on-demand movies to Sky Anytime+ 8 Mar 2012 Sky has expanded its pay-per-view movie offering for customers with Sky Anytime+. The new Sky Store replaces Sky Box Office and has over 1000 films available to watch on-demand. SD movies start at just 99p, rising to £3.99 for blockbuster new movies in HD. Sky also confirmed that Sky Anytime+ will be available to all Sky customers from Easter - a Sky Broadband subscription will no longer be required. Sky Anytime+ delivers a wide range of on-demand content for free as well as offering pay-per-view films. Sky is at pains to point out that its pay-per-view movies, via the new Sky Store if you're an Anytime+ customer, are cheaper than iTunes and Lovefilm in many instances. New releases are £3.49, library movies are £1.99 and special offers are 99p. HD films rather than SD will cost 50p more. Sky Box Office will continue as the place for non-Sky Anytime+ customers to choose from a more limited range of the latest movies on the live channels from £3.49 per title. All Sky TV customers meanwhile can rent movies on a pay-per-view basis from the new Sky Store on laptops via the Sky Go application, which already has a Sky Movies application, too.

Vudu is Apple TV's greatest threat in online movie sales | News | Rapid TV News - 0 views

  • says Apple iTunes accounts for 64.5% of all sales
  • Apple's market share is slipping: it accounted for nearly three-quarters ( 74.4%) of all online movie sales in 2009. Its competitors are taking a few bites here and there: Microsoft has increased its market share from 11.6% to 17.9%. It offers titles via the X-Box 360 and Microsoft Zune. Sony, which sells movies online through the PlayStation 3 player and select Sony Bravia HDTVs, has gone from 5.7 % to 7.2% in 2010.

Film studios starting to release video-on-demand sales figures - latimes.com - 0 views

  • According to Roadside Attractions and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., the sister companies handling the film's concurrent theatrical and VOD releases, the film "Arbitrage" has VOD sales, via the Internet and cable and satellite television, of about $11 million, and is projected to gross as much as $12 million. At the art house, "Arbitrage" has sold more than $7.3 million in tickets and may reach more than $7.5 million.
  • With those numbers, "Arbitrage" has surpassed what is believed to be the record holder for combined sales for a movie released concurrently in theaters and on VOD, held by 2011's "Margin Call." That film had VOD sales of about $6 million and grossed $5.4 million in theaters.
  • Unlike box-office sales, which typically are divided 50-50 between the theater owners and the distributors, the VOD split usually gives distributors close to 70%. The amount of VOD proceeds that flows back to a film's creative team and investors is still imprecise.

Costs mobile data - O2 - 0 views

  •  
    What is 1MB of data? 1MB* on average is: Browsing - using the internet on your O2 mobile O2 Active 40 pages approx Mobile internet sites outside of O2 (typically 3rd party websites not controlled by O2): 2-10 full web pages (depending on graphics, images, amount of text) 10-20 mobile web pages Sending and receiving E-mail from your O2 mobile 200 emails without attachment 10 emails with simple one page attachment Satellite Navigation 15 hours of Satellite navigation traffic alert service. Please note: Using GPS Sat Nav without the traffic alert service does not incur data charges. Important information The following services when provided by a 3rd party may consume large amounts of data and maybe subject to separate charge. We recommend you take a Browsing Bolt On if you use these services regularly: Downloading video clips from 3rd party: typically between 1MB and 5MB depending on the length and quality of the clip, plus the cost of the video Note - Downloading video clips/music/games from O2 costs the price of the content only with no additional data charges. Downloading high quality music tracks from 3rd party: typically between 1MB and 5MB per track depending on the length and quality of the track, plus the cost of the track Downloading games from 3rd party: typically 300KB, plus the cost of the game We recommend that you avoid the following on your mobile: Using VOIP** uses 1 MB of data every 3-4 minutes. Downloading full-length movies as this may use in excess of 1,000MB. Using video/ audio streaming devices (e.g. 'Sling box'), which connect your mobile device to your TV, also consume large amounts of data. Watching 15 minutes of TV on your mobile using these devices uses around 25MB. * These figures are based on typical usage. Actual data usage will depend on the content of web pages viewed and the length of emails sent/received. ** Typical VOIP usage is around 5KB per second but will depend on a number of variables including codec and voice sample t
