Was that the wrong post as all that says is that the channels "will start BARB reporting" from May and mentions nothing about launching on VM. It's also in the Sky Forum! :confused:

They are saying Men and movies and Men and movies + 1 may rebrand as Sony Movies and Sony Movies+1 in May , I wrongly thought VM carried Men and movies channels apologies for the confusion , it was Movies24 I was getting mixed up with.

Actually when looking through the XL package, there are some channels that are XL only that I wouldn't mind seeing go...... if it freed up money to land other channels such as SKY Atlantic or Premier Sports. For me the likes of The Horror Channel, Liverpool TV, Motors TV, Current TV, Travel & Living plus TV5 can all go. I've never watched any of those channels.
Thats the problem with multi channel TV you cannot please everybody myself i did used to watch current TV (now gone anyway )and the horror channel for me sky atlantic would be one channel i would never watch,plus premier sport has been offered a slot on VM as a premuim channel which they did not want apparently! i would not watch it in the XL large pack anyway,so as i said you cannot please everybody.:)

Yes it is interesting that Premier Sports did not take up the offer of a premium channel slot.

Is that because they are playing a waiting game to see if they can get into a pack later, or is it because Virgin's handling charge limit's the amount of money they would make as a premium and it is better for them to hope that the likes of me (who would love to watch the NRL and Championship Rugby League) would move to Sky.

I know people who have moved to Sky for just that reason, but then I guess you have to be a fan to understand.

There are no doubt many other reasons for people to move to Sky, Virgin should strive to limit these.

Unlikely as the streams will be a BBC Tivo App

If that's true, and the channels aren't launching on Virgin outwith a TiVO app then that sucks big time.

It seems to be good news for anyone with a SKY dish:

http://corporate.sky.com/media/press...mpics_channels

The 48 new channels will be added to the Sports section of Sky’s Electronic Programme Guide from the 24th of July. The channels are free-to-air and available to any Sky home, including Freesat from Sky homes. The HD channels are available on any Sky+HD box and do not require a subscription, but do require an HD ready TV. Customers will require a Sky subscription in order to use Sky+.

Virgin need to deliver the same to their customer who don't have TiVo

Ouch. That will be hard to take, if Sky customers can record some memories from the Olympics and we can't. I have been on cable since day one but some times it is hard to stay loyal.

:zzz: Of cause they will.
O yes there are a squadron of old spots passing my window:hyper:

Sorry being honest I really don`t care. I hope that they come for the sake of the people that require them. I just find Virgins track record on delivery of any thing is not to be trusted. It comes in the end- but Boy O Boy things take some time.
In my case the upgrade of BB is over an year away !!! if its on time. Really talk about thinking well ahead !
