Oh boy. youve asked a question which is gonna be the topic of some debate now.

As far as "Virgin in talks with Sky about bringing channels back"... Im sick of hearing it.

Its the same thing thats being said every few months, and people publish this on sites to keep getting hits, and to make it look news worthy. We all know it isnt. The Sky channels ARENT COMING BACK!!!!

Otherwise, why would there be a court case going on?

Virgin are saving money, and growing well WITHOUT the Sky Channels. It would be against the better judgment of a businessman to bring them back, because they have no value to Virgin.

Virgin is growing perfectly, WITHOUT these channels.

And, Lee, if your wife is wanting to watch Gladiators, Id be worried.

No this old cookie again

And people wonder why we haven't flocked to publish this as news on CF.

I really haven't missed any of the Sky channels. So if they come back, they come back, if they don't - I won't lose sleep over it.

braysoj1 · 09-05-2008, 15:11

i hope we get all the channels back

Zeph · 09-05-2008, 15:42

why go over old ground. if there is a decision then post the news if they are still entrenched and going nowhere then don't..

VM have no intention in my opinion of getting back channels that are losing customers month after month.

I personally have far more important events in my life than getting upset over a bunch of crappy channels.
